What to Expect

30-45 MINUTES

CONSULTATION

You’ll start your appointment with a consultation and a few tests to see if your jaw is out of alignment, making clicking noises, or causing acute pain.

YOU MIGHT BE A CANDIDATE IF YOU EXPERIENCE

pain in your jaw
jaw clicking noises
frequent headaches
neck and back issues
facial muscle tightness or swelling
grinding teeth (bruxism)

COMPUTERIZED TESTS

To diagnose the source of your jaw pain, we’ll use specialized technology. Here are a few tests we might perform to find the root of your jaw pain:

Phonetic Bite – Taking record of the jaw in motion while speaking
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (otherwise known as “TENS”) – relieves muscle spasms using electromagnetics

Once tests are completed, we might recommend a joint splint, night guard, oral surgery, muscle relaxants, day guard or full mouth reconstruction.
