Relieve TMJ Discomfort with Advanced Therapy in Fort Collins

TMJ disorders affect the joint connecting your jaw to your skull, leading to symptoms that can significantly impact your quality of life, including jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and clicking or locking of the jaw joint. At Layton Family Dental, we’re dedicated to diagnosing and effectively treating TMJ disorders, restoring comfort and functionality to our patients.

Our approach to TMJ therapy is rooted in a deep understanding of the condition and its effects. We offer a variety of treatments tailored to address the specific needs and severity of each patient's condition, including:

• Custom Oral Appliances: Often the first line of treatment, these devices are designed to realign your jaw and alleviate pressure on the TMJ.
• Physical Therapy Exercises: Targeted exercises to strengthen jaw muscles and improve joint mobility.
• Botox Therapy: An innovative treatment that has shown promise in relieving TMJ symptoms. Botox injections can help relax the muscles around the jaw, significantly reducing pain, tension, and frequent headaches associated with TMJ disorders.

Botox, commonly known for its cosmetic applications, is increasingly being utilized as an effective treatment for TMJ disorders. By administering Botox injections into specific facial muscles, we can provide immediate relief from jaw tension and discomfort. This minimally invasive treatment option is ideal for patients looking for a quick and effective solution to their TMJ symptoms, with results that can last for months.
