TMJ Treatment

“For the last 10 years, I have experienced migraines on and off every couple of weeks. I never imagined that my headaches were related to my crooked teeth, but they were. Over the course of treatment with Invisalign, my headaches have almost completely stopped.”
Jeff O.

What Is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder happens when the jaw joint is not properly aligned.

This misalignment of the jaw and teeth causes stress on the muscles, nerves, and joints of the mouth, face, and shoulders, leading to headaches and pain which often needs to be controlled with medication.

Dr. Matthew Walker and Dr. Brian Gosnell offer an effective, non-surgical, and affordable treatment for TMJ disorder that restores the jaw to its most comfortable position. Many patients feel immediate relief from their pain and other symptoms with oral appliance therapy or Invisalign® treatment.

Protects Oral Health

TMJ disorder and teeth grinding often go hand-in-hand. Chronic grinding wears and cracks tooth enamel, affecting the health of your teeth and gums. Properly aligning the jaw will protect your oral health and smile.

Have Questions About TMJ Treatment?

Your Tulsa dentist has the answers you should know.

Why is Dr. Matthew Walker and Dr. Brian Gosnell so successful at TMJ Treatment?

Our success in TMJ treatment is based on Dr. Matthew Walker and Dr. Brian Gosnell own personal experience as a TMJ patient. Knowing and palpating just how far forward the jaw needs to go to find a functioning TMJ to provide comfort and aesthetic results is a skill learned through experience.

How does oral appliance therapy work?

First, Dr. Matthew Walker and Dr. Brian Gosnell will restore any teeth that are damaged and in need of crowns, fillings, or dental implants.

Once, the teeth are restored, he will use a custom-created oral appliance or Invisalign® aligner trays to move the teeth and jaw into their optimum position by means of gentle, constant pressure. Invisalign®’s clear, polymer trays fit snuggly against the teeth and straighten them in just a matter of months.

Once the teeth and jaw are properly aligned, they will function the way they should – comfortably and easily.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

Many patients experience immediate relief and see rapid improvement in the first few weeks of treatment.

The earlier the disorder is caught and treatment is started, the shorter your treatment will be. For more severe or advanced cases, it may take months of treatment before full relief from symptoms is achieved.
