SERVICES & TREATMENTS


HEADACHES, BRUXISM & TMJ


‍No one treatment can resolve TMJ disorders completely and treatment takes time
to become effective. Dr Mullane has extensive training in this area and can help
you have a healthier, more comfortable jaw.

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders are a family of problems related to your
jaw joint. If you have had symptoms like pain or a “clicking” sound, you’ll be
glad to know that these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than they
were in the past. These symptoms occur when the joints of the jaw and the
chewing muscles do not work together correctly. TMJ stands for temporomandibular
joint, which is the name for each joint (right and left) that connects your jaw
to your skull. Since some types of TMJ problems can lead to more serious
conditions, early detection and treatment are important.

TROUBLE WITH YOUR JAW?

TMJ disorders develop for many reasons. You might clench or grind your teeth,
tightening your jaw muscles and stressing your TM joint. You may have a damaged
jaw joint due to injury or disease. Injuries and arthritis can damage the joint
directly or stretch or tear the muscle ligaments. As a result, the disk, which
is made of cartilage and functions as the “cushion” of the jaw joint, can slip
out of position. Whatever the cause, the results may include a misaligned bite,
pain, clicking, or grating noise when you open your mouth, or trouble opening
your mouth wide.

DO YOU HAVE A TMJ DISORDER?

 *  Are you aware of grinding or clenching your teeth?
 * Do you wake up with sore, stiff muscles around your jaws?
 * Do you have frequent headaches or neck aches?
 * Does the pain get worse when you clench your teeth?
 * Does stress make your clenching and pain worse?
 * Does your jaw click, pop, grate, catch, or lock when you open your mouth?Is
   it difficult or painful to open your mouth, eat, or yawn?
 * Have you ever injured your neck, head, or jaws?
 * Have you had problems (such as arthritis) with other joints?
 * Do you have teeth that no longer touch when you bite?
 * Do your teeth meet differently from time to time?
 * Is it hard to use your front teeth to bite or tear food?
 * Are your teeth sensitive, loose, broken or worn?

The more times you answered “yes”, the more likely it is that you have a TMJ
disorder. Understanding TMJ disorders will also help you understand how they are
treated.

TREATMENT

There are various treatment options that Dr. Shane Mullane utilize to improve
the harmony and function of your jaw. Once an evaluation confirms a diagnosis of
TMJ disorder, Dr Shane Mullane will determine the proper course of treatment. It
is important to note that treatment always works best with a team approach of
self-care combined with professional care.

The initial goals are to relieve the muscle spasms and joint pain. This is
usually accomplished with a pain reliever, anti-inflammatory, or muscle
relaxant. Self-care treatments can often be effective as well and include:

RESTING YOUR JAW

 1. Keeping your teeth apart when you are not swallowing or eating
 2. Eating soft foods
 3. Applying ice and heat
 4. Exercising your jaw
 5. Practicing good posture

Stress management techniques such as biofeedback or physical therapy may also be
recommended, as well as a temporary, clear plastic appliance known as a splint.
A splint (or nightguard) fits over your top or bottom teeth and helps keep your
teeth apart, thereby relaxing the muscles and reducing pain. There are different
types of appliances used for different purposes. A nightguard helps you stop
clenching or grinding your teeth and reduces muscle tension at night. It also
helps to protect the cartilage and joint surfaces.
