Long Term Relief for TMJ Disorders
Headaches, Sleep Disturbances, Sore Jaw &
Worn or Broken Teeth All Signs of TMJ Disorder

The Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) is one of the most complex joints in the human body. Some estimates suggest that over 10 million Americans are affected by TMJD. The condition appears to be more common in women than men.

Because of its complex movement and unique makeup, the jaw joint and its controlling muscles can pose a tremendous challenge to both patients and doctors when problems arise.

While it's not clear what exactly causes TMJD, people whose symptoms worsen over time do find relief with professional help. Here are a few indications you may be suffering from TMJD:

• Pain, particularly in the chewing muscles and/or jaw joint, is the most
  common symptom
• Radiating pain in the face, jaw, or neckjaw muscle stiffness,
• Limited movement or locking of the jaw
• Painful clicking, popping or grating in the jaw joint when opening or
  closing the mouth
• A change in the way the upper and lower teeth fit together

If conservative treatments don't yield results, a long term clinical approach may help. Dr. Lim will diagnose the problem (and rule out other causes of your symptoms) and recommend a treatment plan specifically for your circumstances.
