Relieve TMJ/TMD

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

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

How the jaw moves can affect the way the teeth make contact when they come together. This can be affected by the muscles, the temporomandibular joints, or your sleep quality. That is why it’s important to have a comprehensive examination before treatment is started.
