TMD / TMJ Treatments

Serving Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe and Scottsdale, Arizona

Relieving a lifetime of chronic, often debilitating, pain, TMD / TMJ treatment can change your life. Relief from symptoms can begin right away! Only neuromuscular dentists, such as Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro can diagnose and treat TMD.

Relaxing your jaw and relieving the pain

We start out with the TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Neural Stimulation) machine. This acts like an electrical massage, relaxing your jaw muscles and relieving the pain. It lasts about 45 to 60 minutes.

TENS also increases blood flow, flushes out toxins, and stimulates the production of endorphins – your body’s natural pain killers!

Correcting your bite

The next step is to get your bite back into the proper alignment. This will depend on the nature of your problem. Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro may be able to instruct you on exercises and lifestyle changes that will relieve TMD.

If the problem is a more substantial misalignment, you may need to wear a temporary appliance to gradually change the position of your jaw and correct your bite.

Permanent results

Cosmetic & neuromuscular dentist Dr. LeSueur and Dr. Dodaro will perform neuromuscular testing again, to make sure that your jaw is in optimal alignment. He may reshape your teeth or use crowns to keep your teeth meeting up perfectly and make the results permanent.

The length of your TMD / TMJ treatment will depend on the nature and severity of the problem, but unlike treatments for most health problems, TMD treatment can give you relief from symptoms immediately!
