Feel Better With a Custom Oral Appliance

Dr. Dorroh has completed extensive postgraduate training, so he is well equipped to help you manage your jaw pain. He and our team are committed to helping you overcome TMJ disorders and regain comfort in your daily activities.

We offer comprehensive treatment tailored to your specific needs. Our approach begins with a thorough evaluation of your jaw function and joint alignment using digital X-rays and advanced imaging from a 3-D cone beam CT scanner. Based on this assessment, we develop a personalized treatment plan centered around a custom TMJ appliance.

The appliance is a key component of our treatment strategy. We will fit you for a specially designed oral appliance that you wear to help reposition your jaw and alleviate pressure on the joint. This appliance is comfortable and custom-fitted to your mouth, allowing for reduced muscle tension. Your TMJ appliance will:

  • Reduce pressure on your jaw joints
  • Prevent teeth grinding and clenching
  • Promote proper jaw alignment
  • Allow overworked muscles to relax and heal

The appliance is typically worn at night, though some patients may benefit from daytime use as well. We will carefully adjust the appliance to ensure it fits comfortably and effectively addresses your TMJ issues. Our goal is to provide long-lasting relief from TMJ symptoms, improving your overall quality of life. Dr. Dorroh will closely monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to the appliance to ensure the best possible outcome.

Call us today at 713-999-0300 to schedule a consultation. You can also make an appointment online or talk to us about your symptoms at your next dental cleaning and exam. Dave K. Dorroh, DDS will help you achieve a pain-free, fully functional jaw through Tomball TMJ treatment.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment
Does TMJ treatment work?

TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.

What are the signs of a TMJ disorder?

Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.

How soon will I notice improvement from TMJ treatment?

You will likely begin to feel relief within a few days to a few weeks, depending on the cause and severity of your symptoms. Your custom TMJ appliance will gradually reduce strain on the jaw joint, allowing your muscles to relax and discomfort to lessen over time. Our team will work hand in hand with you to ensure you get the pain relief and improvement in your quality of life you need.
