Philadelphia Area TMJ Treatment

Are you or someone you know experiencing chronic pain, and looking for an every day solution?

TMJ disorders, or disorders of the temporomandibular joint, is a painful jaw condition that can cause dysfunction in your muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, bones and teeth. TMJ patients often complain of ear pain, chronic headaches, muscle spasms and popping or clicking noises when they chew, speak or yawn.

If you suffer from TMJ problems, Philadelphia area dentist Dr. Joshua Stelzer can help. We offer a variety of procedures that can provide fast and lifelong relief, allowing you to get back to your life. At our dental practice, you can do more than just imagine what life is like without headaches, neck aches or shoulder ear aches!

During your first visit, Dr. Stelzer takes the time to analyze the way your jaw functions at rest, during function and movement, and how your bite is aligned. The causes may be related to stress, nighttime clenching and teeth grinding, or other more complex causes. Custom-fitted day or night guards may be used to resolve improper movement, and to relax the muscles of your jaw to their comfortable, ideal position. A mouthguard can protect and comfortably align your bite - which is especially beneficial when you have dental restorations, such as dental implants.

Today's advances in the oral health field mean that you no longer have to live with an uncomfortable TMJ around Philadelphia. Schedule a brief exam with Dr. Stelzer, and learn how you can start feeling refreshed, relaxed and comfortable today.
