Temporomandibular joint dysfunction, also called TMD or TMJ, affects millions of Americans. The temporomandibular joints connect the lower jaw, called the mandible, to the temporal bone at the sides of the head. When these joints are misaligned, some people feel discomfort or pain in the muscles that control jaw function. Besides pain, other symptoms of TMJ include jaw clicking, limited jaw movement, an uneven bite, migraines, earaches, and dizziness.

When you visit Livonia Dental Group, we can perform a complete evaluation to determine the source of your discomfort. He will then make treatment recommendations to alleviate your symptoms and restore balance to your mouth. TMJ therapy may involve:

• Nightguards
• Orthotics (Dental Appliances)
• Behavior Modification
• Medication
• Equilibration (Building Up the Bite)
