No Surgery. No Pain!
I first came to AZ Sleep & TMJ Solutions in 2022 and it has been life changing. Everyone on the team is amazing and very friendly. Laura, Dr’s dental assistant, is also the best! Highly recommend seeing Dr. Vizcarra.
Very informative love the doctor! She let me know when, where, and why. There imaging is up to date. I didn’t feel rushed, only heard! The assistant was so informative as well. As a dental assistant I will send patients there way considering I know TMJ is a condition that needs to be recognized!
The first step in any TMJ treatment plan is to determine what is actually causing the pain. Is it arthritis in the joint? The result of an injury? A misalignment of the bite? Determining this answer will help us figure out the right solution.
Oral appliance therapy is a very helpful and successful technique in treating temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMJD). These devices are extremely popular due to the simplicity and comfort of the appliance. We will provide you with a custom solution that works best for your needs.
Each splint is custom-made for every patient, and they work by slightly shifting the jaw into a physiologic rest position. Over time, this will enable the muscles and joint to heal and find this new, healthier orientation on their own.
With physical therapy for TMD, the focus is on relaxation, stretching, and releasing tight muscles and scar tissue. Physical therapy is also an important part of recovery from TMJ surgery because it helps to minimize scar tissue formation and muscle tightness.
