TMJ Therapy

Dental Solutions Providing Relief for TMJ Symptoms
Most people know the temporomandibular joints by their shorter, more common term, TMJ. These important joints, padded by disc-shaped cartilage, function as a hinge between the jaw and the skull. Influenced by the mechanics of your bite and the condition of jaw muscles, just a little added stress or fatigue, or changes in occlusion, and the whole system is knocked off balance resulting in TMJ dysfunction. This condition is extremely common in our culture, so we evaluate our patients for TMJ dysfunction at every regular dental exam.

TMJ Therapy from Germany Dental
At Germany Dental, we offer both neuromuscular TMJ therapy and restorative dentistry to correct the bite. Often a simple, custom fit dental appliance alleviates symptoms.
