What Is TMJ Disorder?
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ for short) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull and controls every chewing and speaking movement you make. When it becomes inflamed, misaligned, or overworked, it can cause several uncomfortable symptoms that can extend far beyond your jaw. TMJ disorder is incredibly common, often developing gradually over time. The good news is that it's very treatable, often without the need for surgery!
How We Treat TMJ Disorder
At Keep Smiling Waco, we approach TMJ treatment conservatively, starting with the most comfortable, non-invasive options available. For example, a custom occlusal splint can be worn while you sleep, helping reduce clenching and grinding and giving your jaw a chance to recover. If needed, we also offer equilibration and occlusal adjustment to balance your bite and reduce any pressure that may be aggravating your TMJ symptoms. No matter what, we'll find what works for you!
