TMJ-TMD Solutions for Jaw Pain and Discomfort
Jaw pain and discomfort can be more than just an inconvenience – they can significantly impact your quality of life. Tens of thousands of Kansans suffer needlessly from chronic facial pain and unexplained headaches due to Temporomandibular Disorder or TMJ/TMD for short.
At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas, we specialize in providing effective solutions for TMJ-TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder). Whether you’re experiencing mild discomfort or severe pain, our dedicated team is here to guide you toward relief and improved well-being.
Understanding TMJ-TMD
Are you experiencing jaw pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty opening and closing your mouth?
These are common symptoms of TMJ-TMD, a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint and surrounding muscles. Stress, teeth grinding, misaligned bite, and injury are some of the leading causes of this condition.
Common Signs & Symptoms
The most common indications that you may be suffering from TMJ-TMD are:
- Jaw and facial pain
- Unexplained headache pain
- Migraines
- Teeth grinding
- Joint noises, clicking, popping, crackling
- Limited or difficult mouth opening or locked jaws
- A change in the alignment of your teeth
- Pain, ringing, stuffiness, or whooshing in your ears
TMD and craniofacial pain can also masquerade as other head, neck, and shoulder problems.
This is why people spend years bouncing from doctor to doctor, searching for the cause and solution for their pain. That’s where TMJ Sleep Therapy Centre of Kansas steps in.
Our practice bridges that gap between medicine and dentistry. There are many reasons for headaches, but TMJ dysfunction is often overlooked by conventional medicine.
