TMJ Treatment

Headaches and migraines can be a symptom of TMJ disorder.

As headaches and migraines are often associated with other symptoms it is hard to diagnose TMJ disorder. People don’t associate headaches with dental-related problems and as TMJ disorder is often hard to diagnose there is common misdiagnosis.

TMJ disorder headaches can be very painful to the point that you may not be able to sleep properly or carry on a normal daily routine. In most cases, the pain cannot be treated or alleviated by simple pain medications alone. This is why it is important for you to visit your dentist if you experience frequent headaches along with other symptoms associated with TMJ disorder.

At Glebe Dental Group, we are fully equipped and highly knowledgeable about TMJ disorder and how to effectively treat it. We don’t just treat the symptoms; we treat the underlying cause of the symptoms.

Here, we understand that TMJ disorder is caused by misalignment of the muscles and nerves in the temporomandibular joint or TMJ. Here at Glebe Dental Group, we use Orthotic Therapy to gently realign the muscles and nerves in the TMJ. We provide solutions to TMJ disorder with the latest techniques.

This treatment involves making our patient wear a custom-made orthotic fixture made to the neuromuscular bite position. Its function is to allow the muscles of the jaw to relax in to the measured neuromuscular position. This device is adjusted over time up until the correct alignment of the muscles and nerves in the TMJ is achieved.

Glebe Dental Group will be working with you all the way up until you no longer experience headaches related to TMJ disorder. With our orthotic therapy, we will help you treat and cure your headaches caused by TMJ disorder.
