TMJ dentist in Brisbane - Providing treatment for headaches and neck pain

Home

Divine Smiles specialises on Cosmetic Dentistry.

However, we also provide Neuromuscular Dentistry to treat people with TMJ disorder.

Neuromuscular Dentistry is a special field in dentistry where the practice focuses more on the TM joint, jaw muscles, and the nerves located in the joint. TMJ disorder is a very common occurrence among a lot of people. This disorder causes headaches, migraines, ear aches, jaw pain, popping or clicking sounds in the jaw when opening or closing the mouth, limited movement of the jaw, ringing in the ears, and neck and shoulder pain.

Unexplained dental pain, chewing discomfort, and worn down and chipping tooth are also attributed with TMJ disorder.

The main cause of TMJ disorder is misaligned jaw caused by trauma, surgery, and even bad dental treatment. Teeth grinding can also cause TMJ disorder, which can also deteriorate the teeth.

Because TMJ has symptoms similar to having migraines, many people tend to go to several doctors to get relief. At Divine Smiles, we have the necessary tools and knowledge on how to diagnose and properly treat TMJ disorder.

Here, we will not just treat the symptoms to provide relief to our patients, but we also treat the cause of TMJ disorder. To treat TMJ, we use Orthotic Therapy to correct the misaligned jaw.

A dental appliance will be used to gently correct the alignment of the jaw.

Because we know that TMJ disorder can be very painful, our dentists here at Divine Smiles regularly attend continuing education courses in Neuromuscular Dentistry and TMJ disorder to provide our patients with world class care and services.

At Divine Smiles, our main priority is our patients. We make it a point that they will get the best possible results along with the best possible care.
