The act of enjoying your favorite meal is more challenging, and less rewarding, when your bite function is compromised by recurring jaw aches and pains. How can you effectively treat this issue? Information will help determine what is happening with your bite movement and general joint alignment so that the right treatment can proceed. At our Katy, TX dentist’s office, we can provide that review, and once we do so we can make arrangements to treat your jaw aches and pains. We use Tekscan pressure mapping to perform these evaluations, which means we can digitally track bite pressure and gather useful details about movement and alignment. We can also provide a review to determine if any other oral health issues are complicating your life.
How Often Do You Feel Pain In Your Face And Jaw?
Is jaw movement often accompanied by pain and stiffness in the joints and muscles? This trouble with poor or painful movement, along with issues like headaches and a tendency to grind your teeth, can point to trouble with TMJ disorder. Those who suffer from this condition can find it difficult to enjoy meals without aches and pains, and they can experience other kinds of discomfort as they go about their routine. By having your jaw movement evaluated, you can find out if your trouble is linked to poor jaw movement; if so, we can provide treatment to improve your bite equilibrium!
Using Digital Reviews To Assess Bite Problems And Poor Alignment
Because we rely on Tekscan pressure mapping technology, your bite function can be thoroughly reviewed. Details that we gather let us know if you have problems with the application and release of pressure whenever you bite down. From what we gather, we can find out if there are imbalances due to poor joint alignment and movement. Corrections that fix these problems can ease tension and improve the motions that you rely on for eating and speaking, which can mean welcome relief from pain!
Oral Health Issues Can Interfere With Your Bite Health
Simply put, it can be hard for you to truly improve your bite function when you have struggles with poor oral health. We will look out for any signs of teeth that need to be restored as we look at how we can improve your quality of life. Dental crowns can support teeth so that they once again apply and absorb pressure as they should. This change may be key in helping you with larger changes that benefit your oral health.
