FAQ about TMD

1. Can TMJ Disorder cause headaches?

 

Yes! TMJ Disorder can lead to headaches due to the impact on surrounding tissues, including muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. This can stimulate the trigeminal nerve, resulting in facial pain and intense headaches often mistaken for migraines.

​

2. How does Facial Growth Treatment help with TMJ Disorder?

 

Facial Growth Treatment addresses the root cause of TMJ Disorder, focusing on bite issues that create stress on the jaw joints. Unlike traditional methods that may involve tooth removal or repositioning, facial growth treatment promotes natural jaw growth to create more space for teeth, allowing for a balanced bite without extractions or extensive orthodontic adjustments.

​

3. Why is Facial Growth Treatment considered a more effective approach for TMJ Disorder?

 

Facial Growth Treatment targets the cause of TMJ Disorder rather than just managing symptoms. By allowing the jaw to develop naturally, it relieves pressure on the temporomandibular joints, promoting healthier and pain-free jaw function.

 

4. Are there any age limitations for Facial Growth Treatment?

 

Facial Growth Treatment is effective for individuals of various ages. While it is often initiated during childhood or adolescence when jaw growth is most active, adults can also benefit from this approach. Dr. Q can assess your specific situation and determine if you are a candidate for Facial Growth Treatment.

6. Can TMJ Disorder affect my ability to eat and speak?
