TMJ DISORDER TREATMENT

Jaw misalignment and other issues can cause you to develop temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, otherwise known as TMD. This condition can cause severe and far-reaching issues for your health. Dr. Damien F. Armstrong can help patients understand the causes of TMD, using advanced 3-D scans and measurements. He also offers effective TMJ treatment from our Downtown Chattanooga, TN, dentist office.

TMJ Disorder Treatments We Provide

Bite Guards

For most patients, Dr. Armstrong will provide a mouth guard. This device is typically worn at night and provides non-invasive, effective treatment. Rather than suggesting a one-size-fits-all stock guard or a boil-and-bite option, Dr. Armstrong offers custom-fit guards, which provide the best fit and protection. These advanced appliances can help realign your jaw, alleviating painful symptoms. We will take impressions of your teeth, which will be forwarded to a trusted partner dental lab. There, skilled dental technicians will fabricate your mouth guard to your exact specifications. The custom-fit guard can stay in place all night, providing reliable protection against grinding and clenching, and effective relief from pain and discomfort.

Medical Botox^®

Fortunately for sufferers, BOTOX® Medical can be used as a quick and effective alternative treatment for TMJ disorders. BOTOX® therapeutic injections relieve TMJ and jaw tension by preventing afflicted muscles from moving and causing strain. Additionally, many symptoms of TMJ disorder can be caused by bruxism, or teeth grinding, which often occurs involuntarily while a patient is sleeping. BOTOX® Medical injections can help to eliminate chronic headaches by relaxing the muscles that are responsible for teeth grinding. Treatment with BOTOX® Medical can provide lasting relief after only a single appointment. To learn more about this treatment for chronic migraines or TMJ disorder, contact Mint Dental today.

Full Mouth Rehab

A full mouth reconstruction provides a comprehensive treatment plan to restore multiple aspects of your oral health. You can combine several restorative treatments to achieve your goals.

To begin your treatment, we will perform a full oral exam, taking highly detailed 3-D images and creating impressions of your smile. Dr. Armstrong will use these impressions and images to create a comprehensive plan that covers all aspects of your treatment. He may perform more extensive procedures in stages, to allow you to heal before beginning the next one. However, Dr. Armstrong can often combine procedures to provide you with faster, more affordable results.
