The symptoms of TMJ disorder (TMD) can range from annoying jaw clicking to debilitating migraine headaches. If you experience unexplained jaw, head, face, shoulder, or neck pain, TMD may be the culprit. At Rahn Dental Group, we offer non-surgical treatment to alleviate TMD symptoms and correct the underlying problem.
The smooth motion of your jaw depends on proper functioning of two small joints, the temporomandibular joints or TMJ, in front of your ears. Bruxism (teeth grinding), stress, or a misaligned bite can aggravate these joints, resulting in pain and swelling. A custom oral appliance called a nightguard can eliminate TMD symptoms by promoting proper jaw alignment, allowing stressed joints and muscles to rest.
