Do You Have Jaw Pain?  

TMJ pain can interfere with eating and speaking, cause headaches, and disrupt sleep. Joint clicking, tension, discomfort, and even a decreased range of motion can all result from problems with your temporomandibular joint (TMJ). This hinge connecting the jaw to the skull is affected by the positioning of your teeth, which in turn affects your bite and how your jaw functions overall.

Jaw Joint Checkups                                

Anxiety, anatomy, and injury can all cause dysfunction with the jaw joint. Dr. Stein conducts thorough examinations that include an assessment of your jaw hinge muscles and all your symptoms. He will evaluate the performance of your joint tissue hinges and assess your jaw’s range of motion. With this information, he can strategize a treatment plan that will best suit your needs and restore functionality.

What is Splint Therapy?

Occlusal splint therapy is an effective alternative to surgery or extended drug intervention. These appliances do double duty by preventing jaw clenching and grinding and providing diagnostic information.

Splints show where your jaw places the most pressure, which helps us keep an up-to-date diagnosis on your progress and treatment plan.

We customize your splints to fit your bite and design them to neutralize your specific problem. With a variety of options in splint construction, there is an option that can work for you. Your splint will also protect your teeth from damage caused by tooth grinding.

Dr. Stein can help you protect your teeth and sleep better with professional TMJ care. Schedule a consultation today to determine if you can benefit from this treatment.
