TMJ

If you suffer from chronic headaches, migraines, pain in your face, jaw, neck, or shoulders, or clicking in your jaw joint, you should be examined for TMJ dysfunction.

People with TMJ dysfunction tend to have misaligned bites (malocclusion). Over time, misaligned bites cause strain on the jaw muscles and create a pain that radiates throughout the face, head, arms, and upper back. The pain can lead to migraines, numbness in extremities, and a long list of painful symptoms. Stonebridge Dental Associates will diagnose and determine the best course of treatment whether it be a night guard or a referral to a specialist.
