TMJ Treatment

Orthodontic treatment can be a beneficial approach for some individuals experiencing Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, particularly when the issue stems from bite misalignment or malocclusion. By aligning the teeth and correcting the bite, orthodontic interventions can help reduce strain on the TMJ, potentially alleviating pain and improving jaw function. However, it’s important to note that TMJ disorders are complex, and orthodontic treatment is not always the sole solution.

Are you experiencing chronic jaw pain? Review some of the common systems listed below and if you feel there are issues that indicate a bite problem, contact Orthodontic Associates for more information at (405) 947-1526. We offer free consultations with x-rays.

Common TMJ Symptoms

  • Pain in one or both jaw joints.
  • An aching or dull pain in the face, cheeks, or temples.
  • Often mistaken for an ear infection, the pain occurs in or around the ear.
  • Frequent or chronic headaches, especially around the temples.
  • Aching tooth pain without any underlying dental issues.
  • Pain in the neck and shoulders—pain can radiate to these areas due to muscle tension.
