Gain Back a Comfortable Jaw With Comprehensive TMJ Solutions
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, or even headaches, you might be dealing with a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. You want to pay attention to these signs and mention them during your checkup. Left untreated, they can lead to more persistent problems in your jaw and bite function.
Dr. Zhitnitsky can help you manage these symptoms and address your TMJ problems. He offers numerous solutions for you:
- Bite Guards – Our custom-made mouthguards will ease the pressure on your jaw. These guards add a barrier between your teeth to prevent grinding or clenching. You’ll find they fit comfortably in your mouth. Wearing them every night can lead to more restful sleep and healthier jaw function.
- TENS Therapy – TENS therapy uses mild electrical impulses to relax your jaw muscles. It helps reduce tension and pain. During the session, you’ll experience a gentle tingling sensation that can relieve stress in your jaw.
- Clear Aligners – If bite alignment issues are contributing to your TMJ problems, Invisalign is a discreet and effective solution. These clear aligners gradually correct your alignment without the need for metal braces. You’ll gain improved jaw function and a boost in your appearance.
