Do you experience pain, clicking, or locking in your jaw when you open, close, or chew? You might be dealing with TMJ/TMD issues. At Farias Dental, we’re here to help you understand and treat these common concerns, so you can enjoy a pain-free, comfortable life.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays a crucial role in chewing, speaking, and overall jaw function. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) occur when there is misalignment, inflammation, or dysfunction of the jaw joint, leading to discomfort and pain. Symptoms may include:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw
Frequent headaches or ear pain
At Farias Dental, we conduct Occlusal (Bite) Evaluations using T-Scan, a state-of-the-art digital system that accurately assesses bite forces and identifies imbalances. Adjustments can be made to realign the bite and reduce stress on the TMJ, providing relief from chronic discomfort.
At Farias Dental, Dr. Farias is trained to thoroughly evaluate TMJ-related problems and recommend personalized treatments. Our process includes:
We’ll assess your symptoms, jaw movement, and bite alignment to identify the root cause of your discomfort.
A splint, much like a nightguard, is custom-made to fit your mouth. This appliance is designed to optimize your bite, relieve muscle tension, and protect your teeth.
We’ll work with you to periodically adjust your splint, ensuring it continues to provide the ideal fit and function.
Guidance on posture, stress management, and other habits to support your treatment.
A discreet and effective solution for correcting bite misalignment, crowding, and spacing issues without traditional braces. SureSmile™ aligners are custom-designed to gradually reposition teeth for improved aesthetics and function.
Designed for patients who grind or clench their teeth (bruxism), night guards protect against excessive wear, fractures, and jaw strain, promoting better TMJ health and preventing long-term dental damage.
A custom-made appliance that repositions the jaw to relieve stress on the TMJ. This is often used as a treatment for TMJ disorder and bite misalignment issues.
For patients with mild to moderate sleep apnea, oral appliances are designed to reposition the jaw and tongue, keeping the airway open during sleep to improve breathing and reduce snoring.
