TMJ Therapy
Offering Modern Therapies to Eliminate TMJ Discomfort
Do you experience migraine headaches or jaw clicking? Perhaps you can't fully open your mouth or have unexplained pain in your face, temple, neck, or shoulder. Temporomandibular (TMJ) disorder may be to blame. Stoffel Family Dentistry offers a variety of therapies to alleviate your TMJ discomfort and restore pain-free jaw motion.
Two small joints in front of your ears are responsible for proper jaw function. Pain and pressure result when these joints are aggravated by stress, bruxism (teeth grinding), a misaligned bite, or a host of other factors. Dr. Stoffel will examine your jaw to determine the cause of your headaches and symptoms, then suggest therapies to eliminate distress. Many patients find relief with custom-fitted nightguards that promote proper alignment to ease stressed jaw muscles. If your TMJ disorder is caused by a misaligned bite, Dr. Stoffel may suggest braces, full-mouth reconstruction, or building up the chewing surface of back teeth. We'll work with you to determine the best therapy for your needs.
