TMJ Disorders
TMJ Disorders Cause Grinding, JAW STIFFNESS, AND OTHER SYMPTOMS
Where exactly are the TMJs located? And what causes dysfunction?
Stress, Misalignment, and Other Factors THAT CAN TRIGGER A TMJ DISORDER
Each type of impaction can have severe implications on the health and appearance of your smile.
Are TMJ disorders very common?
So How Can I PREVENT SYMPTOMS FROM WORSENING?
How is a TMJ disorder diagnosed?
Your Doctor Will Perform an Exam& TAKE YOUR MEDICAL HISTORY
Dr. Park can diagnose TMJ disorders with a simple visit to Elegant Dental Care. He will discuss your symptoms and examine your teeth and jaw, checking for signs of grinding and tender areas.
In some cases, further testing, such as an MRI maybe required to identify any damage to the soft cartilage that cushions.
Can the problem be fixed?

Modern TMJ Disorder Treatments ARE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE
Oral Appliances
Also known as occlusal splints, dental splints, or bite guards, oral appliances are worn during sleep. These customized devices improve alignment and prevent teeth from grinding.
Orthodontics & Restorative Dentistry
Substantial misalignment may require conventional braces or clear braces like Sure Smile® and Invisalign®, or another type of orthodontic correction. Restoring worn teeth with dental crowns and replacing missing teeth with implants may also help.
Injections & Other Medications
Some patients respond positively to BOTOX® therapy or steroid injections. Muscle relaxers, benzodiazepines, and other depressants might also be recommended.
Surgical Correction
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that can remove damaged tissue within the jaw joint. In the most severe cases, total joint replacement might be needed.
