Brentwood area patients who have TMJ disorder can seek treatment with Dr. Jamil Alkhoury
By
Dr. Jamil Alkhoury
Dr. Jamil Alkhoury of Brentwood Family Dental works with
patients who have oral conditions such as TMJ disorder. Patients
with TMD often experience pain in jaw joints, neck, and shoulders. This
may be caused by misalignment of the bite or concurrent conditions such
as bruxism. Dr. Alkhoury and his team encourage patients to learn about
the benefits of treatment for TMD to improve their overall
quality of life.
What is TMJ/TMD?
This condition is a malfunction of the temporomandibular joint.
This is the joint that hinges the jaw so that it can open and
close. When it is misaligned or malfunctioning, it results in poor
bite alignment, bruxism, and unusual wear on natural teeth.
Additionally, patients may experience pain and stress throughout
the upper body.
Treatment options
At Brentwood Family Dental, Dr. Alkhoury provides a thorough and exact
approach to treatment for TMJ/TMD. During the initial diagnosis, the
team uses JVA, also known as Jaw Vibration Analysis, alongside CBCT cat
scans.
Once it has been determined that TMJ disorder exists, treatment options
are discussed. They may include:
- A custom-fabricated oral appliance to be worn at night to
keep jaw joints aligned.
- Cold laser therapy to address pain often associated with
this condition.
Dr. Alkhoury consults with patients to help them decide which treatment
will best improve the condition.
