Putting Your Health First
A correct and specific diagnosis for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is incredibly important in developing the right treatment plan for each unique case. Treating TMD requires a methodical, comprehensive approach that not only considers your oral health but other functions of the body as well. We’ll work with a multi-disciplined team of TMD specialists, including neurologists, physical therapists, orthopedists chiropractors and other specialists, assisting patients in receiving the treatment they need to address TMD and restore their health and bite to full functionality.
We utilize the latest in technology to establish a thorough diagnosis. Expanded examinations, such as digital imaging of the TMJ, neuromuscular evaluation, and functional analysis to gather in-depth details about each patient's case.
Treatments for TMD in the Duluth Area
Depending on each individual’s condition, there may be several options for treating TMD. Mild to moderate cases can be addressed with simple therapy to relax or stimulate the muscles around the joint for proper functionality. More advanced cases may receive treatment combining several specialties.
Most moderate cases of TMD can be treated with a combination of conservative therapy and wearing a customized dental appliance. This appliance is form-fitted to an individual’s smile, providing a personalized treatment that addresses their immediate issues of discomfort.
In some severe cases of TMD, surgical intervention is necessary to correct joint damage unmanageable by an appliance or rehabilitative care alone.
Benefits of Receiving Treatment for TMD
TMD can greatly affect an individual’s oral and overall health by preventing them from utilizing their smile to their fullest capabilities. In addition to the immediate relief provided in most cases, this treatment provides patients with a lifetime of relief by preserving correct jaw functionality.
