Get Relief From Your TMJ Symptoms
Dr. Stephanie Manning and our team are committed to helping you find relief from TMJ disorders. We understand that TMJ issues can significantly impact your quality of life, and we’re here to provide effective, personalized treatment. Our TMJ treatment process involves:
- Comprehensive evaluation of your jaw joints and surrounding muscles
- Use of our iTero digital scanner to create a detailed heat map of potential trouble spots
- A custom-made TMJ appliance to reduce tension on your jaw joints
- A personalized treatment plan to address your specific symptoms and needs
The iTero digital scanner allows us to get a precise picture of your jaw’s alignment and function. This advanced technology helps us identify problem areas that might not be visible to the naked eye. Based on this information, we’ll have a custom TMJ appliance made for you. This appliance is designed to:
- Reduce pressure on your jaw joints
- Relax the muscles around your jaw
- Prevent teeth grinding and clenching
- Promote proper jaw alignment
Our goal is to eliminate your uncomfortable TMJ symptoms. They may include jaw pain or tenderness, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, difficulty or pain when chewing, headaches or ear pain, and locking of the jaw joint. We’ll work closely with you throughout your treatment, making adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible results. With proper care and consistent use of your TMJ appliance, many patients experience significant relief from their symptoms.
