If you are having pain or difficulties with your jaw, you’re not alone. An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, issues. TMJ disorder can be painful and persistent.
Finding & Treating the Cause
The human jaw is one of the most complicated mechanisms in the body. Its joints can generate over 260 pounds of force at the molars and yet rely on a delicate balance between the nerves and muscles. Disruption to this area can result in the painful symptoms of TMJ disorder.
There is a new way to diagnose and treat TMJ pain called the TruDenta treatment system. Its unique diagnostic technology analyzes the mechanics of the head, neck, and jaw for inflammation and tension using:
- Bite force analysis
- Range of motion analysis
- Headache history and head health questionnaire
- Muscle exam
The treatment plan is tailored to address your symptoms and includes several FDA-cleared, painless technologies, such as ultrasound, low-level cold laser, microcurrent, and trigger point manipulation. Together these technologies provide a non-invasive, medication-free approach to managing pain and resolving underlying issues.
