Utah TMJ Treatment

Do you suffer from nagging symptoms such as ringing in the ears, headaches, neck pain, teeth grinding, or teeth wearing down?  Current estimates suggest that over 10 million Americans are affected with TMJ – temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Dr. Coles and Dr. Jorgensen understand what causes TMJ dysfunction and can provide nonsurgical relief.

Your TMJ joints are little, triangular joints on each side of your head, just in front of your ear. They control the movement of your jaws. These joints are sensitive to fatigue, stress, and bites that are out of alignment. Any disruption can throw the whole system out of sync, resulting in inflammation and discomfort.

After a complete evaluation of your whole chewing system, Dr. Coles or Dr. Jorgensen will make recommendations to help your jaws and teeth work in harmony again – and most important, to ease your pain. Nonsurgical TMJ therapy may include an oral appliance for bite correction, and bite balancing treatment.
