Are you experiencing persistent jaw pain, chronic headaches, or a clicking sound when you open your mouth? These are common signs of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, also known as TMJ or TMD. At My Smile Orthodontist, Dr. Neil Mandalia and our dedicated team provide expert diagnosis and personalized treatment for TMJ/TMD to patients in Newtown, Holland, and throughout Bucks County.
Our goal is to alleviate your discomfort and restore proper jaw function, helping you get back to living pain-free.
Understanding TMJ/TMD: What Is It?
Do You Have Symptoms of TMD?
TMD can manifest in various ways, and the symptoms can range from mild to severe. You may be suffering from TMD if you experience any of the following:
- Persistent pain or tenderness in your jaw, face, neck, or shoulders
- Chronic headaches or migraines
- Difficulty or pain while chewing
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds in the jaw joint
- Locking of the jaw, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
- A tired feeling in your face
- Ringing in the ears (tinnitus) or earaches
- Swelling on the side of your face
If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to seek a professional evaluation. Ignoring TMD can lead to chronic pain and long-term dental issues.
Your First Choice for TMJ Treatment in Newtown and Holland, PA
Our Customized TMJ/TMD Treatment Options
Every patient’s experience with TMD is unique, which is why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Depending on your specific diagnosis, Dr. Neil may recommend one or a combination of treatments, such as:
Custom Orthotic Appliances: We can create custom-fitted oral splints or night guards to prevent teeth grinding, reduce pressure on the joint, and help reposition the jaw into a more comfortable and stable position.
Orthodontic Correction: In cases where an improper bite (malocclusion) is contributing to TMD, orthodontic treatments like braces or clear aligners can align the teeth and jaw, resolving the root cause of the issue.
Lifestyle Recommendations: We can provide guidance on stress management techniques, dietary adjustments, and exercises to help relax the jaw muscles and alleviate symptoms.
