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.
