Many individuals suffer from pain in their face and mouth that they cannot explain. For years they can live with this agony, because no one can tell them what the problem is. The answer could be as simple as a problem with the way their mouth is held in place. You jaw muscles and joints could be causing you extreme pain. If any of these symptoms sound familiar to you, please visit our neuromuscular dentistry Missouri practice immediately to help the pain stop. Here are some common problems associated with temporomandibular joint disorder:

Swelling on the side of the face or mouth

There are several indications that could mean an individual's jaws are improperly aligned. In this situation, they should consult a cosmetic dentist for answers and relief. If you feel that this is a problem for you, we will begin by assessing your current situation. Once we determine that you are suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder, Dr. Herman will use advanced technology to track jaw movement, muscle activity and temporomandibular joint sounds. This will help determine where your jaw's resting position is and where it should be. Patients will need to wear a corrective devise to realign the jaw. Once the jaw is in its correct position, your teeth will be assessed and corrected to make sure they match the new positioning of the jaw joints. At this time you may need Springfield veneers. They will be attached as the final step towards a perfect smile.
