TMJ/TMD Treatment In Riverside & Corona, CA

Home » Other Services » TMJ/TMD Treatment In Riverside & Corona, CA

Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD)

Millions of Americans suffer from chronic facial and neck pain as well as severe, recurring headaches. In some cases, this pain is due to Temporomandibular Disorder, also known as TMD.

Your temporomandibular joints, or TMJs, connect your lower jawbone to your skull. These joints get a lot of use throughout the day as you speak, chew, swallow, and yawn. Pain in and around these joints can be unpleasant and may even restrict movement.

Symptoms Of TMD Include:

  • Pain in the jaw area
  • Pain, ringing, or stuffiness in the ears
  • Frequent headaches or neck aches
  • Clicking or popping sound when the jaw moves
  • Muscle spasms in the jaw area
  • A change in the alignment of top and bottom teeth
  • Locked jaw or limited opening of the mouth

If you notice that you are experiencing any of these symptoms, let your doctor know at your next appointment. Your doctor can help determine if you have TMD and create a customized treatment plan to help relieve your symptoms.

Not All Jaw Pain Is Associated With TMD

If you feel that you might have TMD, it is always important to see your dentist and receive an exam. However, not all jaw pain is associated with TMD, and if you do not have TMD there are many different preventive steps you can take to maintain a healthy, strong smile.

  • Relax your face — “Lips together, teeth apart”
  • Avoid grinding your teeth
  • Avoid all gum chewing
  • Don’t cradle the phone receiver between your head and shoulder — either use a headset or hold the receiver to your ear
  • Chew food evenly on both sides of your mouth
  • Do not sit with your chin rested on your hand
  • Practice good posture — keep your head up, back straight, and shoulders squared

Many people get TMD without ever having braces. Symptoms usually wax and wane regardless of whether braces are worn. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms listed above and are concerned that you’re a candidate for TMD treatment, please contact our office for a consultation.

Dr. Larson, and his team are great. I was provided with great service at every appointment. Dr. Larson is very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this orthodontist. It’s been over a year since I’ve had my braces removed, and I haven’t had any problems. I love my teeth, and smile! 😀 🦷

Absolutely amazing orthodontist! My son has horrible dental anxiety and they were amazing with him ! Super fast and he even got treatment done the same day as his Consultation.
Sandi S.
Dr. Larson and his team are great!! My kids and I all go here and we love it. They are fast, efficient, and so friendly. They have a big beautiful office. There are always fun movies playing to keep the kids relaxed during visits. Parents are welcome to sit in the back with the kids during their appointments. They always explain everything they are doing and teach us how to properly care for our braces and Invisalign. :)

I’m glad I found Larson Ortho for my son. He is nervous of getting braces and they are making the experience good for him. By keeping him calm and explaining to him what they are doing.

Larson Orthodontics is a wonderful facility! Dr. Larson is extremely knowledgeable and clearly an expert. He is able to explain the exact process of treating the teeth so that parents and children can easily understand what's being done and the plan for moving forward. He and all of his Staff have excellent rapport with the children and families, too. His patients always leave smiling.. and with the perfect smile after treatment!
Mauricio C.
Great service, started Invisalign treatment with Larson Orthodontics a few months back and I couldn’t be happier. The staff is incredibly helpful during check ups, and it’s incredibly easy to set up future appointments with them. Dr. Hadid is also extremely nice, and explains everything regarding questions about the treatment process!
Zahra S.
I am on my 3rd month of treatment and I have received really great results, help, and support. Larson Orthodontist on Riverside is very clean and organized. They have very convenient appointments times that is not too far apart. The timeframe to do a consultation and get braces only took two weeks.This was really great because most places take extremely long for the next available appointment. The workers are very kind, nice, and are really gentle with their work. I am glad I came to this place because they make you feel really welcomed and I trust they will take care of my teeth well.
