If your jaws pop when you open them wide or you have pain in your ears, you may suffer from TMJ dysfunction. Maybe you feel a dull ache your jaw and up into your temple. Temporomandibular joint dysfunction—TMJ for short—causes a host of painful symptoms, including muscle spasms and migraines, and it can even lock your jaw.
Your TMJ joints are located in front of your ears. They allow your mouth to open and close, move side to side, and slide forward. Misalignment of these joints causes swelling and inflames facial nerves. Some contributing factors, like stress, can be helped with lifestyle changes. Other factors, like osteoarthritis or injury, may require a more pro-active solution. Fortunately, we can help you manage TMJ dysfunction with an oral appliance.
Dr. Harris uses the NTI-tss splint to keep your back teeth from touching while you sleep. This comfortable appliance prevents nighttime grinding, the cause of muscle tension, nerve problems, and associated pain. Don't live with TMJ pain; call our Temple dental office to discuss a non-surgical pain solution. We have helped patients from Temple, Nolanville, Killeen, and beyond find the relief they deserve.
