What is TMD?

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) occurs when the joints connecting your jaw to your skull become stressed, damaged, or misaligned. This complex condition can affect your jaw movement, cause persistent pain, and impact your daily activities.

These joints are essential for speaking, eating, and facial expressions, which is why finding the right dentist in Agoura Hills for TMD treatment is crucial for long-term relief and management.

Available TMD Treatment Options

Your path to relief begins with a customized treatment approach that may include these effective solutions:

Custom Night Guards:

Precisely fitted appliances that prevent teeth grinding and reduce joint stress while you sleep. They are made using impressions of your teeth, ensuring a comfortable fit that effectively protects your dental health during the night.

Botox Therapy

Strategic injections to relax overactive jaw muscles and provide significant pain relief. This non-surgical option can help alleviate symptoms associated with TMD, allowing for improved daily function without the need for extensive treatments.

Bite Adjustment

Careful modification of your bite to ensure proper jaw alignment and reduce strain on the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ). This process often involves collaboration between dental professionals to create a balanced bite, enhancing overall comfort and reducing the risk of further complications.

Physical Therapy Techniques

Specialized exercises and stretches to strengthen jaw muscles and improve joint function. Incorporating these techniques can lead to increased mobility and reduced pain, ultimately contributing to a better quality of life.
