TMJ Treatment
Relieving Headaches, Jaw Pain and More
With Splint Therapy
Do you suffer from chronic pain including headaches or migraines, soreness in your jaw or pain when you chew? Have you been to the doctor? A chiropractor? And still can't find relief?
The problem may be your bite, or more specifically, the alignment of your bite.
When your bite is healthy, it's physiologically sound - the top jaw is aligned with your bottom jaw. This means that your bite is in its optimal position and the muscles are calm and relaxed, and your jaw functions comfortably.
A number of issues can affect the alignment of your jaw, from losing a tooth to having teeth wear down unevenly. When the alignment is off, called malocclusion, painful symptoms can result, including TMJ.
TMJ is a painful condition that causes clicking or popping of the jaw, limited jaw function; pain in the neck, shoulders and back; pain and pressure in the ears and face and other symptoms.
To alleviate these symptoms, your bite requires realignment. To return your bite back to its optimal position, we use splint therapy.
When the splint is placed over the upper teeth, it immediately repositions the muscles, joint and teeth in a harmonious position, working together without any strain or pain.
