Chronic Pain
Chronic pain can be debilitating, hindering the ability to go about life as usual. It can manifest in many different ways, such as disabling headaches, migraines, jaw muscle soreness and locking of the jaw joint
Jaw Clenching
A common medical issue for millions of people around the world, jaw clenching is characterized by involuntary grinding and clenching of the teeth which can cause varying levels of discomfort to those affected.
Laser Therapy
This innovative treatment helps to reduce pain, inflammation, and the clicking sound that is associated with TMJ. Through the use of light energy in the form of lasers, the muscles around your jaw can be stimulated and improve mobility.
Migraine Relief
If you suffer from frequent and painful migraines, it is important to know if they are caused by a TMJ disorder. You may experience facial tenderness and muscle spasms, as well as headaches in your temples and around your eyes.
Orthopedic Dysfunction
A condition that results from damage to the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, or ligaments. It can result from degenerative changes such as osteoarthritis or wear and tear on the joints.
Obstructive Sleep Apnea
TMJ-related sleep apnea is a disorder that can have severe impacts on a person’s health. It’s due to the interference with airway pathways during sleep, leading to pauses in breathing and inadequate oxygen intake.
Teeth Grinding
Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is a common dental issue relating to TMJ, which can cause significant damage to the teeth and gums. It usually occurs unconsciously during sleep and is often caused by stress or anxiety.
Snoring
Snoring can lead to sleep deprivation, which can in turn cause daytime fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating. In severe cases, it can even contribute to accidents.
Nuvola OP
Nuvola® OP System is an innovative orthodontic protocol from Italy that combines the classic orthodontic biomechanic principles of aligner therapies with those of functional orthodontic therapy.
Ear Pain
Ear pain is often a symptom of TMJ leading to discomfort and sometimes a sensation of fullness in the ear. We alleviate symptoms by stabilizing the jaw position and maintaining open airways, respectively, during sleep.
Sleep Appliances
Custom-made devices worn at night to align and support the jaw, helping to reduce strain and alleviate associated discomfort. They prevent teeth grinding and clenching, to promote muscle relaxation and improved sleep quality.
