TMJ Treatment
TMJ is a disorder that can cause problems with eating, talking, moving the jaw, or even hearing.
TMJ Disorder
Jaw pain, face and neck pain, headaches without a trigger, ringing in the ears are all symptoms of TMJ disorder. TMJ sometimes called TMD, is a misalignment of your jaw that can lead to overactive muscles, pinched nerves, and an off-centered vertebrae. This can have a negative impact on your body in a number of ways. Often when this happens, patients see a doctor, chiropractor, or other specialist without results. Keep reading to learn more about the symptoms, causes and treatments for TMJ.

TMJ (TMD) Symptoms:
- Pain or tenderness in your jaw
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Sensitive teeth
- Neck, shoulder, head pain
- Hearing problems or ringing in the ears
- Tooth aches or dizziness
- Chipped, broken, worn down teeth
- Jaw that “gets stuck,” locks or goes out of place
- Jaw clicking and popping
It’s very common for these symptoms to get diagnosed as a different condition when it is actually caused by an unstable bite. An unstable bite can arise when the three parts of your chewing system: your teeth, jaw joint, and chewing muscles cannot function properly because of the way your teeth fit together.
Overtime, the stress of an unstable bite can lead to muscle and jaw joint pain as well as other issues.
What Causes TMJ Disorders (TMD)?
TMJ (TMD) disorders have many causes. Sometimes the cause is too much strain on the jaw joints (bruxism: involuntary clenching or grinding of the teeth). In other cases, trauma (injury to the jaw, the head, or the neck) causes it. The problem is, the symptoms can look like other conditions or health problems. For this reason, get a proper diagnosis from a qualified trained dentist.
TMJ Treatment: BioRejuvenation for Long-Term Results
Biorejuvenation is a full mouth rehabilitation focusing on restoring your chewing system to the optimal position, which relaxes your jaw joint muscles and reduces stress on your teeth. This type of dentistry corrects bite alignment issues to help patients retain as much of their tooth structure as possible. It is the process we use to keep your bite balanced without having to wear an orthotic appliance forever. We also use it to treat
sleep disorders like snoring and sleep apnea. That’s because some dental conditions often accompany airway problems. Thanks to his advanced training, airway-centered dentist Dr. Villadiego who understands the connection between breathing and the structures of the mouth as well as the face, can use this approach to treat a growing list of oral and overall health concerns that can be tied to sleep issues.
