One of the primary benefits of TMJ treatment is pain relief. Chronic jaw pain, headaches, and earaches associated with TMJ disorders can be debilitating. Through targeted treatment, these symptoms can be significantly reduced or eliminated, bringing you much-needed relief and improving your overall wellbeing.
TMJ disorders often result in difficulty opening and closing the mouth, as well as chewing. TMJ treatment can help restore normal jaw function, making these everyday activities easier and more comfortable. This can have a significant positive impact on your quality of life, enabling you to enjoy meals and engage in social activities without discomfort.
Without treatment, TMJ disorders can lead to further oral health issues, including tooth damage from grinding or clenching, and even changes in facial appearance. TMJ treatment can stop this progression, preserving the health and integrity of your teeth and jaw.
The first step in the TMJ treatment process is a thorough diagnosis. This involves a detailed review of your medical history, a physical examination of your jaw, and possibly imaging tests. The goal is to accurately identify the cause of your symptoms and determine the most effective treatment plan.
Once a diagnosis has been made, Dr. Constandelis will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. This may involve a combination of treatments, including pain management techniques, physical therapy, and possibly dental procedures.
The final step is the implementation of your treatment plan. This may involve several visits to our practice, depending on the recommended treatments. Throughout this process, we will monitor your progress closely to ensure the treatment is working effectively and adjust the plan as necessary.
