Effective TMJ Therapy

End Your Pain With The Right Treatment

If you experience face, head, neck, or jaw pain, you may have TMD (temporomandibular disorder), which is also referred to as temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain.

Other signs of this problem include earaches, swelling on the side of your face, or clicking and popping when you open or close your mouth.

Let Harvey H Breckner DMD MS take a holistic approach in evaluating your TMJ problems. He will study the interrelationships of your joints, teeth, and muscles since all three are vital to your chewing system, and then recommend effective therapy.

Don't Let TMJ Pain Rule Your Life

Caused by the improper alignment of your joints, teeth, and jaw muscles, TMJ is a serious issue that can give you debilitating pain. If it gets bad enough, it can cause changes in your life, including missed work and even depression.

Even less serious cases can become a painful annoyance if the causes go untreated.

Dr. Breckner's goal is to identify a TMJ treatment that will correct and realign your teeth, joints, and muscles so you can achieve pain-free results.
