Unlock Relief From TMJ/TMD Disorders

Disorders of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) are more than just a nuisance — they can disrupt your daily life and well-being.

At Restorative Wellness Center | TMJ + Snoring Solutions, Dr. Kyle and the team work hard to diagnose and effectively treat TMJ disorders with personalized care that targets the root of your discomfort.

Understanding TMJ/TMD

You’ve heard all about it, but what exactly is TMJ/TMD?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. Dysfunction in this joint can lead to a condition known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). This can lead to all sorts of uncomfortable symptoms.

At Restorative Wellness Center, Dr. Benton's expertise in TMD treatment provides relief by pinpointing the underlying causes and developing a tailored approach to care.

Whether through therapeutic exercises, dental splints, or advanced non-invasive treatments, our goal is to alleviate your symptoms and restore harmony to your jaw function.

Symptoms of TMJ/TMD

Identifying the symptoms of TMJ/TMD is the first step toward timely and effective treatment. Here are the common signs that might indicate you're experiencing this disorder:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness: Persistent discomfort or pain in the jaw area, especially when chewing or speaking
  • Difficulty with jaw movement: Challenges in opening or closing the mouth fully, which may interfere with daily activities like eating
  • Audible jaw noises: Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw joint when moving the mouth
  • Headaches and earaches: Frequent headaches or a sensation of pain around the ears
  • Changes in bite: An uncomfortable bite or difficulty chewing, as if the upper and lower teeth are not aligning properly

Understanding Your Treatment Choices

TMJ/TMD and craniofacial pain can present in diverse ways, often causing discomfort in the jaw, face, and surrounding areas.

At Restorative Wellness Center, Dr. Benton is dedicated to fully understanding your specific symptoms and crafting a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Whether you're dealing with craniofacial pain or TMJ/TMD, our expertise and comprehensive approach aim to guide you toward a life free from discomfort.

Orthotic Appliance Therapy

Orthotic Appliance Therapy uses custom-made devices that help maintain the jaw in a more favorable position, thus relieving tension and pain in the TMJ. These devices are tailored to your specific anatomical needs, ensuring comfort and effectiveness in managing TMJ disorders.

Low-Level Laser Therapy

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) offers a non-invasive solution to reduce inflammation and pain in the TMJ area. By applying specific wavelengths of light, this therapy promotes healing and pain relief without the need for surgical intervention.

Platelet-Rich Fibrin Treatments

I-Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) is a cutting-edge treatment that utilizes your body's own healing capabilities to treat TMJ disorders. By concentrating platelets and growth factors, PRF therapy accelerates tissue regeneration and reduces inflammation in the jaw joint.

Simple Strategies for TMJ Relief

Services may include one or more of the following:

  • Comprehensive diagnostics
  • Non-surgical treatment plan for rehabilitation
  • Decompression appliance therapy (short-term wear of custom orthopedic oral orthotics – not splints)
  • Nutritional counseling
  • Medication and supplement regimens
  • Physical medicine treatment (Laser therapy, trigger points, prolo therapy, phonophoresis)
  • Multi-discipline Referral Coordination

Don’t Forget the Specialists!

These home remedies can provide temporary relief — however, persistent TMJ pain should be evaluated by a specialist.

At Restorative Wellness Center, Dr. Benton offers a personalized approach to diagnose and treat TMJ disorders, so you can be sure to receive the most effective care for your specific case.
