TMJ Orthodontics No Longer Means Braces

TMJ Orthodontics No Longer Means Braces

It was once common practice to treat a misaligned jaw that resulted in TMJ Syndrome with orthodontics. The idea was that through years of braces, the alignment of the jaw could be corrected. This was problematic for two reasons. One is the length of time it takes to actually correct the painful disorder and the other being that sometimes braces can lead to further jaw alignment issues. If your TMJ Disorder is due to a bad bite, misaligned jaw, or crooked teeth, you may think that orthodontic dentistry is your only choice for a solution. However, today there are other, more effective options to treating your TMJ symptoms.

The old, traditional way of treating TMJ was wearing braces for years to try and better align the bite. Today, top dentists can do the same thing in as little as two visits through the use of porcelain veneers and crowns instead. Dr. Eddie Siman in Los Angeles is a celebrity dentist who specializes in adjusting bites and eliminating TMJ quickly and permanently through the use of custom porcelain veneers and crowns. Through the use of advanced technology and specialized diagnostic tests, Dr. Siman can determine the best bite for your jaw to alleviate your TMJ complications. Based on your specific needs Dr. Siman can create the most comfortable and aesthetically pleasing solution to your pain much more quickly than orthodontics can.

Unfortunately TMJ Disorder can masquerade as other problems. If your symptoms include headaches and crooked teeth, the pain you are feeling can be attributed to the teeth and not the joint in your jaw that is suffering from misalignment. General practitioners will not often look for TMJ Disorder as the cause of your symptoms. A TMJ specialist, such as Dr. Siman, will be able to better diagnose and treat your symptoms effectively. If you are living with chronic pain that seemingly can’t be explained then seeing a TMJ specialist may be your solution.

Luckily, with the advancement in technology and options for correcting your TMJ misalignment, you can be on the road to recovery faster than you think. While braces are a slow and painful process of correction, custom porcelain veneers and crowns are painless and a faster solution. In as little as two visits you can have custom made veneers and crowns to correct your particular problems causing your TMJ Disorder. A mold is made of your teeth, this is sent to the lab to be custom-created, and then you are fitted with your TMJ solution! Two visits and you have a new lease on life.

Don’t waste years of your life suffering with pain caused by TMJ Disorder. Committing to unsightly braces no longer is the only way to combat a misaligned jaw. Dr. Siman, a neuromuscular dentist, is specially trained in advanced way to treat your TMJ symptoms.
