The way that your teeth, jaws, muscles, and nerves work together to provide oral function is very complex. A slight misalignment of the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) can create disharmony of the neuromuscular system, which can result in pain such as:
Does any of this sound familiar? If so, you'll be glad to know that while neuromuscular sounds like an intimidating word, in many cases Dr. Owens can non-surgically correct TMJ dysfunction. First, he'll relax your jaw muscles with a TENS unit so that he can determine the best position for your bite. By creating an oral splint to hold the jaws in their natural, ideal position or by building up teeth that do not align properly because of wear, Dr. Owens may relieve your TMJ pain for good!
Don't live with pain. Improve your quality of life now. One simple examination could change your life forever. Because TMJ therapy often works without surgery, what do you have to lose?
