Many people suffer from jaw-related problems and don't even know it! Do you recognize yourself in one or more of these situations?
Migraines or frequent headaches
Abnormal wear and/or grinding of teeth (bruxism)
Jaw cracking
Difficulty opening your mouth properly, chewing or swallowing
Fractures or loss of teeth
Pain, muscle tension or earaches
Ear congestion, tinnitus
Neck and back problems
Sleep apnea
If so, you may be suffering from a jaw disorder. If so, there are a number of treatment options available, and these vary considerably from patient to patient. Sometimes, a simple dental adjustment and/or night-time braces are all that's needed to improve the situation. In other cases, however, orthodontic treatment, dental rehabilitation and space replacement are required.
