Understanding TMJ Disorders
Temporomandibular joint disorders involve the joints and muscles that control jaw movement. Common symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and difficulty in opening or closing the mouth. These disorders can result from various factors such as injury, arthritis, or bruxism (teeth grinding). Understanding the root cause is crucial for effective treatment.
Diagnosis and Evaluation
Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation to diagnose the specific type of TMJ disorder. This includes a detailed medical history review, physical examination of the jaw, and imaging studies if necessary. Understanding the precise nature of the disorder enables us to devise an effective treatment plan tailored to your needs.
