The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is where your jaw connects to the side of your head. It one of the most complicated joints in the body, with a specialized structure and tissue makeup.

It’s more than just your ears

In addition to affecting your hearing and concentration, the constant ringing in the ears can also affect your life in other ways — depression, fatigue, stress, and anxiety are all common among tinnitus sufferers, as well as a statistically lower overall quality of life.

Take Control

Tinnitus can have many causes, and it can be difficult to pinpoint which one is responsible for your tinnitus. Luckily, in many cases tinnitus can now be traced to underlying problems with the mouth and jaw — in these cases, chronic tinnitus symptoms can actually be completely and permanently resolved.

Too Much Power

The human jaw can generate over 260 pounds of force at the molars, and unless this pressure is perfectly balanced it can throw the delicate balance of the jaw’s muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments into disarray.

TMJTreatments

Reduce The Pain

• Pain relievers may be helpful, as well as sedatives or muscle relaxants to reduce tension in the jaw. Tricyclic antidepressants are also occasionally used for pain relief.

• When dealing with chronic pain it is important to be mindful of side effects and take them under the supervision of a professional — dangerous liver and stomach issues can result from overuse of over-the-counter pain relievers, as well as the side effects inherent to prescription medications.

• Injections of botulinum toxin (“botox”) directly into the jaw muscles are sometimes considered, but this approach is not FDA approved for TMJ problems and may have permanent and negative effects on bone density and muscle tissue.

Surgery Is Not Recommended

Any drastic changes to the mouth and jaw are considered to be controversial at best — the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research recommends that surgery to correct TMJ issues be avoided whenever possible.

Finding And Treating The Underlying Cause

• Bite Force Analysis — this TruDenta technology is able to analyze and display the different forces at play in your mouth and jaw, right down to how much pressure is exerted by each individual tooth.

• Range of Motion Analysis — TruDenta’s ROM system measures any abnormal or restricted movement in your head and neck in order to narrow down potential causes and create a specialized treatment plan.

Treatment Process

• Ultrasound

• Muscle Therapy

• Photobiomodulation

Each treatment plan is tailored to address the individual patient's symptoms, and includes the use of several FDA-cleared, painless technologies, including ultrasound, low-level photobiomodulation, microcurrent, and manual muscle therapy.

Different symptoms require from one to twelve treatments, each one hour long and completed weekly.
