Clicking jaw treated with bite adjustment in Shelby Twp.

At www.TheGentleDentist.com located in the Sterling Heights area are concerned about your total well being. Headaches, jaw clicking, worn down teeth, chipped and loose teeth are all symptoms of what is known as TMJ or TMD (Tempro Mandibular Dysfunction).

Basically this is the result if clenching or grinding of the teeth. Stress, a bad bite, history of motor vehicle accidents or nervous habits and anxiety can all contribute to the muscle tension that takes place during chronic clenching or grinding of the teeth. When the teeth don't align up properly the jaw is actually displaced when attempting to bite down on the back teeth. This attempt for the body to get the teeth to align up actually stresses the muscles in the head and face which leads to tension and migraine type of headaches.

This video is a testimony of an accomplished chiropractor in Shelby Township who has been struggling with clicking and popping of the jaw. He was also feeling pain in the front teeth and the gums that support the teeth from chronic clenching and grinding of the teeth. Orthodontics can also put the teeth so they look nice but they aren't always functional in the correct position.

This simple bite adjustment actually reduced the clicking in Dr. McNeils's jaw joint only after only a couple of minutes of being relaxed. This simple procedure doesn't require numbing, and only sands down the necessary spots that interfere with the proper seating of the teeth and the jaw joint. Even a Chiropractor values this safe and conservative treatment to reduce the pain in the teeth and clicking of the jaw.
