TMJ Therapy
If your jaw clicks when you open your mouth or you experience pain in your head, neck, ear, face, or shoulder, TMJ disorder (TMD), may be to blame. Dr. Lieberman has undergone advanced training in the identification and treatment of TMD and can recommend therapies to alleviate your symptoms and restore proper bite alignment.
Two small joints in front of your ears allow your jaw to function smoothly. When these joints are aggravated by bite misalignment, stress, fatigue, bruxism (teeth grinding), or a host of other factors, pain and swelling occur. To remedy your TMD, Dr. Lieberman may recommend a custom-fitted nightguard. Additional therapy may include reshaping the surface of your back teeth to align your jaw. If your bite misalignment is caused by missing teeth, restorative, prosthetic, or orthodontic therapies can restore alignment and eliminate pain. We’ll help you decide the best therapy for your unique situation.
