If you have frequent headaches, earaches, pain in your face, neck, or jaw - if your jaw joints pop or don't open and close fully, you may suffer from TMJ dysfunction. This condition is commonly caused by stress, teeth grinding, or an improper bite. In many cases, Dr. Carter can alleviate TMJ dysfunction with a custom oral appliance. An oral appliance can alleviate clenching and grinding, a destructive condition called bruxism. It will also hold the TMJ joints in proper alignment while you sleep. This will allow your jaw muscles and nerves to relax, and in turn, symptoms will subside.
TMJ pain ranges from nagging to agonizing. Don't let your quality of life suffer when Dr. Carter may have a simple solution that relieves your pain.
