TMD Treatments
Fort Lauderdale, Florida
SmilePerfect, with four offices in South Florida, conclusively diagnoses and treats TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) using highly sophisticated equipment and technologies. But before we can begin, we must evaluate your particular issues during a private consultation.
During your consultation, your SmilePerfect dentist will explain the causes of TMD, examine you briefly, and outline the treatment that will be most helpful in alleviating your symptoms.
Symptoms and Causes
TMD symptoms are caused by bite misalignment. It’s essential to return your temporomandibular joint to its natural position to take the strain off the joint, your teeth and your jaw muscles so they can relax. This is the only way to alleviate your symptoms.
TMD Treatment
Once your dentist has identified the cause of your TMD symptoms, he or she will adjust your bite using a bite positioner (also called an ‘orthotic’) that takes the strain off your jaw and helps it to rest comfortably. Many patients begin to feel relief almost immediately.
In addition to a bite positioner, orthodontics (‘braces’) or porcelain bonding may help to permanently adjust your teeth and your bite.
Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation, commonly called a TENS unit, can also relieve TMD symptoms. Electrodes send a low-volt electrical current to relax strained, tense muscles. Many patients feel relief within 30 minutes.
Today, there is no reason to suffer with TMD pain. SmilePerfect offers expert TMD diagnosis and treatment, with state-of-the-art equipment and leading techniques designed to permanently eliminate pain and bring your healthy smile back for good.
Please contact us today to schedule an initial consultation and put yourself back on the road to good oral health! We can treat your painful TMD symptoms at any one of our four South Florida offices: Boca Raton, Ft. Lauderdale, Plantation and Deerfield.
