TMJ/TMD

Relieve TMJ and facial pain by readjusting your teeth

Did you know that facial pain and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD) may be cured by simply adjusting the way your teeth fit together?

Complete Dentistry of Orland Park, Illinois offers advanced TMJ/TMD treatments that will eliminate the facial pain and discomfort associated with this disorder. Dr. Curt Ringhofer our skilled general dentist, has extensive experience treating patients like you. He can get rid of the soreness, throbbing and agony, and restore your oral health with excellent aftercare.

How teeth move affects the way they make contact when your mouth closes. This also alters the overall relationship between teeth, muscles, and joints. That is why disorders of the teeth can contribute to TMJ or TMD and facial pain.

How is TMJ/TMD caused?

• Trauma
• Bruxism (clenching or grinding of teeth)
• Misalignment of teeth due to dental defect or neglect
• Jaw thrusting
• Excessive gum chewing or nail biting
• Degenerative joint disease
• Myofascial pain dysfunction syndrome (pain that originates from muscles and connective tissue)
• Lack of overbite

An expert dental readjustment by our experienced family and cosmetic dentist can take away your suffering once and for all. We’ve helped several patients in Orland Park, Tinley Park, Orland Hills, Palos Park and Homer Glen to get rid of facial pain and TMJ/TMD.
