TMJ
|
| • | Not being able to fully open or close your jaw. |
| • | Experiencing a popping or clicking sensation in your jaw. |
| • | Experiencing pain or a tired feeling in your jaw. |
| • | Feeling facial pain, such as earaches, eyebrow pain, or cheekbone pain. |
| • | Suffering from migraines or headaches. |
| • | Creating a customized mouthguard that is designed to track your jaw movement while you sleep. Using a specialized machine, the mouthguard can then work to realign your jaw over time. |
| • | Discuss orthodontic work to improve your bite. For patients who have a poor bite, an orthodontic device such as a clear aligner or braces may be necessary. |
| • | Decide if tooth restoration is needed. A common problem with the loss of a tooth is the uncontrolled movement of neighboring teeth, causing havoc to your bite. By restoring a tooth, we can stop the shifting of neighboring teeth. |
| • | For some patients, it may be necessary to discuss a full mouth restoration. The procedures needed will be customized specifically to you. |

If you are experiencing jaw pain, facial pain, or any unusual facial discomfort, our team at Medhat Dental Excellence has experience diagnosing and treating issues that affect the alignment of your jaw and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
