“TMJ disorders are usually related to airway health. Our comprehensive approach addresses these underlying issues for better outcomes.”
– Dr. David Jacobson, Founder, Maine Airway Health
If left untreated, TMJD symptoms tend to worsen over time, significantly impacting daily activities and causing chronic pain and discomfort.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) is a term that describes dysfunction in the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull.
TMJD symptoms include jaw pain, headaches, difficulty chewing, and clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw.
Poor airway health can cause excess stress to be placed on the Temporomandibular joint. That stress can lead to increased jaw muscle tension and improper jaw alignment, exacerbating TMJD symptoms.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMJD) present with a variety of symptoms that can significantly affect daily life and overall health. Recognizing these symptoms is the first step towards effective diagnosis and treatment.
Dr. Jacobson uses a holistic diagnostic approach, including patient history, clinical examination, and advanced imaging techniques. This thorough evaluation helps accurately identify TMJD and its underlying causes.
“We collaborate with various healthcare providers to ensure our TMJ treatments are holistic and effective.”
