Many people are familiar with the term TMJ, but few know what it actually stands for. TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. This joint is responsible for a wide range of movements, including chewing, speaking, and yawning. Unfortunately, it is also susceptible to a variety of problems, which are collectively known as TMD or temporomandibular disorders.
TMJ might cause a plethora of symptoms; some of which include pain in the jaw joint, clicking noises when you‘re opening your jaw, and others such as troubles chewing or the inability to open your mouth entirely. In rare cases, one might even develop dislocation on the jaw axis. If such symptoms occur to you, take the initiative of visiting a professional at Valley Smiles so they can diagnose the problem and effectively treat it. TMJ may cause permanent damage to your teeth, gums, and jaw if not treated.
Orthodontic treatment can be effective in treating TMD, or temporomandibular disorder. Clear braces or other alternatives can help to alleviate these symptoms by realigning the teeth and improving the function of the jaw joint. In some cases, orthodontic treatment can also help to correct TMJ malocclusion, or misalignment of the teeth. We often treat TMJ or TMD with orthodontic options, but keep in mind each patient is unique.
If you or a loved one is experiencing TMJ symptoms that compassionate professionals at Valley Smiles can help. Our Phoenix dental practice is open welcomes families of all backgrounds. Contact us to schedule an appointment.
