TMJ THERAPY IN ARLINGTON, VA

Before we can build a treatment plan, we need to confirm the symptoms you are having and when they happen. During your consultation, we will ask you some questions and then examine your mouth and jaw to get a better picture of your condition. We will also take digital x-rays of your jaw, check your range of motion, and listen for/identify areas of discomfort. This will help us determine the best course of treatment.

While it’s true that TMJ or TMD have many likely causes, including bruxism, it may be that you have an uneven bite, due to a worn-down or out-of-place restoration putting pressure on your jaw to push it out of balance. In order to restore equilibrium, we may need to replace old restorations or make some modifications to your enamel. This will ensure that your bite is even and no longer applying unequal pressure on your jaw joints.
