Are you a good candidate for effective TMJ therapy?

We believe that every patient deserves personalized care, including those who experience temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. If you are suffering from symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty in opening and closing your mouth, you may be a good candidate for TMJ therapy.

Good candidates for TMJ therapy are individuals who have been diagnosed with TMJ disorders or those who experience chronic jaw pain and related symptoms.

Our experienced team of professionals will conduct a comprehensive evaluation to determine the underlying cause of your TMJ symptoms and assess your candidacy for therapy.

If you have tried self-care techniques, such as over-the-counter pain medications, jaw exercises, and heat or cold packs, but still experience persistent TMJ-related discomfort, it may be time to explore professional TMJ therapy. Our advanced diagnostic tools and in-depth understanding of TMJ disorders allow us to develop customized treatment plans that target the root causes of your symptoms.

It is important to note that TMJ therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Our approach is tailored to each individual's unique needs, considering factors such as the severity of symptoms, the extent of jaw joint damage, and any contributing factors like teeth misalignment or stress. We aim to provide comprehensive care that alleviates pain, improves jaw function, and enhances overall well-being.

Types of TMJ Therapy

At Geach Dental, we offer a range of effective TMJ therapy options tailored to address the specific needs of each patient. Our comprehensive approach combines advanced techniques, modern technologies, and evidence-based treatments to alleviate pain, restore jaw function, and improve overall quality of life.

1 Conservative Therapies

In many cases, non-invasive and conservative therapies are highly effective in managing TMJ disorders. These may include lifestyle modifications, stress reduction techniques, jaw exercises, and physical therapy. Our experienced team will guide you through these therapies, providing education and support to help you implement them effectively.

2 Oral Appliance Therapy

Custom-made oral appliances, also known as splints or mouthguards, can be highly beneficial in treating TMJ disorders. These devices are designed to optimize jaw alignment, reduce teeth grinding, and alleviate muscle tension. Our dental professionals will carefully assess your condition and recommend the most appropriate type of oral appliance for your specific needs.

3 Referral for Botox® Treatment

Botox® has shown promising results in relieving TMJ-related pain and reducing muscle tension. By injecting small amounts of Botox® into specific jaw muscles, we can help relax the muscles, reduce inflammation, and alleviate discomfort. Our skilled practitioners will administer Botox® with precision, ensuring optimal results and minimal side effects.

4 Orthodontic Treatment

In cases where misaligned teeth contribute to TMJ disorders, orthodontic treatment may be recommended. By correcting the bite and aligning the teeth, we can improve jaw function and alleviate symptoms. We offer various orthodontic options, including traditional braces and clear aligner systems, to meet your specific needs and preferences.

5 Restorative Dentistry

In situations where TMJ disorders have caused significant dental damage, restorative dentistry procedures may be necessary. This may involve replacing missing teeth, repairing damaged teeth, or restoring proper occlusion. Our team of skilled dentists will develop a personalized treatment plan to restore your smile's function and aesthetics.

Our priority is to provide you with the most suitable and effective TMJ therapy options.
