TMJ/TMD Therapy

TMJ and TMD Therapy

TMJ Therapy
Nagging headaches, recurring earaches, or pain when opening or closing your mouth may be signs of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, or TMD. Dr. Vinings is an LVI-trained dentist with extensive experience treating TMD. His knowledge of leading-edge neuromuscular dentistry makes him uniquely qualified to eliminate TMJ pain and restore whole-mouth harmony.

TMD occurs when the jaws joints malfunction. A variety of factors, including stress, a misaligned bite, and trauma, can cause TMD. Dr. Vinings will conduct a comprehensive oral exam, then use modern technology to administer tests to determine whether you have TMD and to measure the severity of your condition.

To treat your TMD, Dr. Vinings may suggest building up your back teeth to restore proper alignment, an orthotic to stabilize your bite, or full-mouth reconstruction to achieve optimal bite position. Occasionally, he recommends neuromuscular orthodontics and will refer you to a trusted specialist for treatment. We'll work with you to determine the specific treatments that are right for you.
