TMJ/TMD Treatment Options
Are you tired of suffering from chronic jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty in opening and closing your mouth? Our team, led by our Midwest City dentist, is committed to providing personalized care that targets the root cause of your TMJ disorder.
Mouth & Night Guards
Mouth guards and night guards are protective dental devices worn over the teeth. Mouth guards are typically used to prevent dental injuries, while night guards are worn during sleep to protect teeth from grinding or clenching (bruxism). Both help preserve dental health and reduce strain on the jaw.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on retraining the muscles of the face, mouth, and tongue to improve breathing, speaking, chewing, and swallowing. It addresses issues like tongue thrust, mouth breathing, improper tongue posture, and is commonly used to support orthodontic treatment.
Bite Splints
The bite splint is designed to reposition and stabilize the jaw, providing significant relief from TMJ symptoms. This advanced orthotic aligns the jaw joints properly, reducing pain and improving overall function, allowing you to enjoy a more comfortable and pain-free life.
Same Day Dental Emergency Treatment
In most cases, we can provide same-day dental emergency treatment to relieve pain and fix the problem!
