Treat Your TMJ Disorder With Innovative, Expert Care

TMJ Disorder (TMD) is a condition in which your bite becomes misaligned, causing many painful symptoms and potentially serious health problems. You may experience jaw, facial, and neck pain. Other common symptoms include clicking or popping sounds in your jaw, chronic headaches or migraines, oral health issues related to teeth grinding, and muscle tension in the back, neck and shoulders.

Often these symptoms are not immediately associated with a misaligned bite, and you can endure years of suffering before being properly diagnosed. That’s why you shouldn’t wait to visit Dr. Chan for help if you’re struggling with any of these symptoms. Neuromuscular dentists like Dr. Chan are specially trained in proper alignment of the jaw and the muscles that control its function.

When you come to see us for help with symptoms, or if Dr. Chan notices signs of TMD during your dental checkups, he may recommend:

  • Vida Oral Appliance – This innovative alternative to a standard mouthguard, made by Vivos, is used to successfully treat TMJ disorders and the unpleasant symptoms that come with it. No injections are required with a Vida appliance. Instead of just cushioning teeth from grinding, like a standard mouthguard, it encourages your tongue and teeth into their proper positions. You will feel less jaw pain, sleep better at night, and reduce tension in your facial muscles.
  • Myofunctional Therapy Along with these devices, we use MyoCorrect, an extension of the Vivos system that consists of physical therapy sessions working the muscles around your mouth, face, tongue, and neck. This helps ensure your tongue and mouth remain in their proper positions. Your sessions are based on a completely individualized treatment plan
  • Orthodontics – Bite problems and misaligned teeth can lead to issues with your TMJ. If that’s the case, Dr. Chan may recommend orthodontic treatment for lasting relief. As a bonus, you’ll have a more attractive smile!

Your dentist can also provide restorative dental care if your teeth have been damaged from grinding and clenching.

Call us today at 480-897-2274 for an appointment at Tempe Dentistry. You can also schedule online. Relieve your discomfort and get back to enjoying your life with TMJ treatment in Tempe, AZ.
