TMJ TreatmentAn Overview

Temporomandibular joint disorder is a condition that affects over 10% of the American population, and is often misdiagnosed and mistreated by health care professionals with little to no training in the dental field. This highly complex disorder occurs when the temporomandibular joint connecting the upper and lower jaw becomes misaligned or stressed. Typical symptoms associated with TMJ disorder include popping or clicking of the jaw joint, ringing of the ears, headaches and a jaw that does not open or close smoothly.

TMJ Therapy with Annapolis Dentist Dr. Sheen

Before beginning any TMJ therapy treatments, Annapolis dentist Dr. Vernon Sheen will conduct a thorough examination of your head, mouth, jaw joints, facial muscles, and teeth. Since TMJ disorders often overlap with other pre-existing dental conditions, a comprehensive evaluation is necessary to discover underlying causes and develop a treatment plan specific to your needs.

TMJ Treatment What to Expect

Dr. Sheen offers a wide range of TMJ therapy treatments designed to alleviate and correct TMJ disorder symptoms, including custom mouth guards and restorative treatments or orthodontics to realign the bite, correct damage and restore oral health.

To correctly diagnose the cause of your TMJ disorder, Dr. Sheen will discuss your overall health, condition of your oral health and any lifestyle habits or medical concerns that may be a factor. Fully understanding all aspects of your health and the symptoms you are experiencing is important for making treatment recommendations and helping you enjoy long term results.

For many patients, reducing stress and using a night guard or splint can relieve painful symptoms and help the jaw to relax. Dr. Sheen will repair tooth damage from teeth grinding and may also recommend restorative treatment to make sure the teeth can make proper contact.

If crooked teeth or misalignment is causing your bite dysfunction, orthodontics may be recommended.
