At Long Family Dental, we can treat your TMJ disorders with consideration and care, often using dental appliances to alleviate the condition and give you relief through TMJ therapy in Cleburne, TX.

Do I Have TMJ Disorder?
Common symptoms of TMJ disorder include the following:
- Headaches
- Earaches
- Trouble/soreness in opening and closing the mouth
- Clicking or popping of the jaw
- Pain in the jaw muscles
- Soreness in the area, sometimes extending to the face
Dental treatments for this condition can include replacing missing teeth, moving teeth, adjusting the bite, filling gaps between teeth, or using devices to stop such damaging activities as nighttime teeth grinding.
At Long Family Dental, we know there is no one solution that is right for all cases. Sometimes, a custom-made mouthpiece is used to prevent clenching or grinding that is contributing to the problem. If untreated and taken to extremes, surgery may be required to repair a badly damaged joint. We always put your comfort and health first, which is why we take all solutions into consideration and offer you the best treatment options to correct your TMJ disorder.
