Understanding TMJ and TMD
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex joint that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint malfunctions, it can lead to a range of symptoms, including:
- Jaw pain
- Difficulty chewing
- Headaches
- Locking of the jaw
Causes of TMJ and TMD
Several factors can contribute to TMJ and TMD, including:
- Genetics
- Bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching)
- Trauma to the jaw
- Stress-related habits
Expert Treatment at DentRight Dental San Antonio
Our prosthodontists offer a variety of treatments to address the underlying causes of TMJ and TMD, including:
- Custom-Made Nightguards: To protect your teeth from the damaging effects of bruxism.
- Stress Management Techniques: To help reduce tension and alleviate TMJ symptoms.
- Advanced Therapies: To target specific issues and promote healing.
- Surgical Interventions: In severe cases, we may recommend surgical procedures to correct structural problems.
By addressing these issues, we can help prevent future dental problems and improve your smile's appearance.
Beyond TMJ and TMD: Occlusal Harmony
A healthy bite is essential for overall oral health and function. Our prosthodontists can also help with a variety of occlusal issues, such as:
- Crossbite: When your upper and lower teeth don't align properly.
- Underbite: When your lower jaw protrudes beyond your upper jaw.
- Overbite: When your upper teeth significantly overlap your lower teeth.
