Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder is a problem that affects the jaw joints located on both sides of the head. Since they are connected to the base of the skull, inflammation caused by facial trauma or overworked jaw muscles can cause not only increasing pain when opening and closing your mouth but also frequent and often intense headaches. With the help of our Killeen Choice Dental team, we can alleviate the discomfort and create more fluid and functional jaw movement with TMJ/TMD Therapy. All you need to do is call our office to find out how you can begin to experience the relief you need.
An uneven bite can make opening your mouth, eating, speaking, and even yawning incredibly painful. The more pressure and tension that is placed on these joints, the more uncomfortable and fatigued your jaw will become. However, with equilibration/occlusal adjustments, we can identify teeth or restorations that may be the cause of your uneven bite and alter them so that your teeth come together correctly and your jaw begins to relax.
