TMJ Therapy
Headaches, jaw clicking, tingling in the fingers - these are symptoms of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder. This common affliction affects millions of Americans, causing discomfort and impaired oral function. Dr. Brady draws on his extensive experience to diagnose and treat TMJ disorder. He offers non-surgical therapies that restore optimal function and relieve pain.
Stress, bruxism (teeth grinding), trauma, heredity, and other factors can contribute to misalignment of your jaw joints, or TMJs. The resulting symptoms range from unexplained facial pain, to the inability to fully open and close your mouth, to chronic migraines, headaches, or earaches.
At your comprehensive TMJ assessment, Dr. Brady will evaluate your jaw joints to determine if you suffer from TMJ disorder. Many patients find that a custom-fitted nightguard restores whole-mouth harmony by easing stressed jaw muscles and nerves. Other treatments include building up the surface of back teeth to correct bite misalignment, practicing stress management techniques, and changing habits (like chewing gum) to encourage healthy TMJ function.
