TMJ Therapy

Migraine headaches, low back pain, tingling in the fingers. These symptoms sound unrelated; but, in fact, the symptoms and many others often occur when the temporomandibular, or TMJ, joints malfunction. Dr. Lindley alleviates TMJ pain with customized, non-invasive oral appliance therapy.

You’re usually not aware of the two small joints that reside in front of your ears and enable your jaw to smoothly open and close. However, physical or emotional stress, a misaligned bite, trauma, and other factors can negatively jaw joint function and cause discomfort throughout the body. Dr. Lindley will perform a comprehensive examination to determine the cause of your pain, then recommend a solution to restore healthy, comfortable function.

You may be a candidate for oral appliance therapy. A small, custom-fitted nightguard holds the jaw in its proper position to alleviate strain on joints and muscles. Alternatively, TMJ pain caused by bite misalignment may be eliminated by building up the surface of the molars to create optimal occlusion.
