Why TMJ Treatments are Necessary

The problems created by TMJ can affect your overall health, quality of life, and cause ongoing dental damage. Among the many life-draining symptoms, you may experience chronic, severe headaches and insomnia.

Too many people suffer with untreated or misdiagnosed TMJ for their entire lives, often taking dangerous levels of pain medications with little or no relief, and undergoing other ineffective medical procedures.

There are many factors that may contribute to this complex condition. While there may be biochemical and emotional factors, a structural problem is almost always present. It’s a structural misalignment, and creates disharmony between the teeth, jaw position, and the muscles that control our jaw.

Many people have this chronic illness. While some do not experience pain, they may havde worn, chipped or broken teeth or fillings. These individuals can also benefit from treatment.

The longer you live with TMJ the more your problems progress. Overtime you can develop irreversible dental damage.

TMJ can even affect the muscles in your face and if you start losing teeth, that will change the shape of you jaw.
