TMJ/TMD Pain Treatment with Dr. Gyurina
Your jaw is at the center of a mass of nerves, important muscles, the blood vessels that supply the brain, and your airway so if you have bite or jaw problems, it can have profound effects. That’s why Dr. Gyurina is so committed to helping her patients to have excellent bites – not only does it help with esthetics, but can really help with your overall lifestyle. TMJ/TMD or temporomandibular joint disorder as it’s called in the medical community can cause many unpleasant symptoms from headaches, jaw pain, earaches, popping, clicking, and more. If you have any of these concerning issues, please call us! Dr. Gyurina wants to help enhance your health, life, and smile!
What is TMJ/TMD?
TMJ/TMD is a condition that causes chronic headaches, back, neck, and shoulder pain, and several other painful symptoms. Oftentimes these symptoms are not immediately associated with a misaligned bite, and you can endure years of suffering before being properly diagnosed.
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a condition in which your bite becomes misaligned, causing many serious painful health problems. Sometimes the acronym TMJ will be used interchangeably with TMD, but TMJ actually stands for temporomandibular joint. Neuromuscular dentistry differs from traditional dentistry in that neuromuscular dentists are trained in proper alignment of the jaw in relation to the muscles that control its function. Over 15% of American adults suffer from chronic facial pain related to the temporomandibular joint.

Treating the Root Cause of TMJ: Malocclusion
Neuromuscular dentists like Dr. Jana Gyurina first measure the most relaxed position of your jaw to determine the goal for normal jaw positioning. Then she’ll work to realign the bite and restore the teeth and thus the jaw and joints to their optimal position. Once the bite is realigned and the jaw is in place, the pain that resulted from the imbalance disappears.
Malocclusion means “bad bite”
In most cases, TMJ disorders stem from a condition called malocclusion, which means having a “bad bite”. Malocclusion means that your upper and lower teeth do not close together in the correct way, but are misaligned often as the result of accidents or trauma. Underbites or overbites are an example of malocclusion.
When the teeth are misaligned, they cannot provide the support the muscles in the face need for chewing and swallowing. These muscles are then forced into a strained position, resulting in pain throughout the face, head, arms, shoulders, and back. Although a person may have beautiful teeth or had orthodontics to line the teeth up for aesthetic reasons, the muscles and joints may not be comfortable.
Dr. Gyurina is a neuromuscular dentist and will treat this root cause!
