TMJ Disorders and Treatment: Find Relief at Decoteau Orthodontics
Do you suffer from frequent jaw pain, headaches, or clicking sounds when you chew? These could be signs of TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorder, a common condition that affects the jaw joints and muscles. At Decoteau Orthodontics, we offer effective solutions to help you find relief from TMJ discomfort and restore normal function to your jaw.
What Causes TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorders can be caused by various factors, including:
- Jaw misalignment
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Arthritis in the jaw joints
- Stress and muscle tension
Without treatment, TMJ disorders can worsen, leading to chronic pain and difficulty in chewing or speaking. But with the right care, you can manage and alleviate these symptoms.
