Do you find yourself frequently experiencing jaw pain, clicking or popping noises when you open your mouth, or persistent ear discomfort? If so, you could be dealing with Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorder, a condition that can cause chronic pain and disrupt your daily life. Thankfully, relief is closer than you think. At the Centreville Dental Wellness Center, located in Centreville, VA, near Chantilly and Fairfax, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ conditions to get you back to feeling your best.
Understanding TMJ Disorder
Your temporomandibular joint plays a crucial role in your ability to chew, speak, and move your mouth. But when this joint becomes misaligned or overstrained, it can lead to discomfort and pain that affects more than just your jaw. TMJ disorder symptoms can include:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Clicking or popping sounds when you open or close your mouth
- Difficulty chewing
- Ear pain or a feeling of fullness in the ears
- Frequent headaches or facial pain
If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to pay attention. TMJ disorder often goes undiagnosed, leaving many patients to endure unnecessary discomfort. Fortunately, Dr. Rena Vakay and our experienced team at the Centreville Dental Wellness Center are here to guide you toward relief.
Expert TMJ Diagnosis and Treatment
At the Centreville Dental Wellness Center, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating TMJ disorder. Dr. Vakay brings a wealth of expertise in TMJ care, carefully assessing each patient’s symptoms, bite alignment, and jaw function to determine the root cause of their condition. Once a diagnosis is made, we can create a personalized treatment plan designed to alleviate your pain and restore proper jaw function.
How We Treat TMJ Disorders
We offer several highly effective options for TMJ treatment, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient:
- Appliance Therapy
Custom-made oral appliances can help relieve TMJ discomfort by aligning the jaw in a more favorable position. These devices are designed to reduce stress on the joint, improve jaw alignment, and prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) that may worsen your symptoms.
- Occlusal Equilibration Therapy
This treatment addresses bite misalignments that can put unnecessary pressure on your temporomandibular joint. By carefully reshaping the surfaces of your teeth, Dr. Vakay can achieve a balanced bite that eases stress on your jaw.
- Botox for TMJ Treatment
Botox is not just for wrinkles—it’s also a tested solution for TMJ pain relief. By relaxing the overactive muscles causing tension in the jaw area, Botox can significantly reduce symptoms of pain and discomfort.
