Spotting TMJ

Posted .

Did you know, if you suffer from painful headaches or jaw pain, this could be a sign of TMJ? TMJ is a disorder that can cause many problems in your jaw joints, ears, head, face, and even teeth. This disorder can be painful and is important to find a solid treatment plan to reduce the pain.

 

Here at TMJ Therapy in American Fork, Utah, our team of experts is proud to help you with your TMJ needs. This situation can develop when damage or injury can occur to your muscles, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, head, neck, or nerves in your jaw. This can also occur slowly over time, and many people may not recognize it at first. However, our team of experts specialize in TMJ and can help you discover if your pain is in fact, linked to TMJ.

 

TMJ is a progressive disease and can change over time, which means your treatments may also change over time. Each treatment plan is catered to the individual, so you can get the treatment that is best for your personal needs. There are different phases of treatments. The first phase is committed to addressing the TMJ and pain. The second phase is committed to correcting any discrepancies that could be causing it. Sometimes this could be things like the reconstruction of the teeth, or orthodontic braces.
