If Experiencing TMD Symptoms, Visit an Aurora Orthodontics Office

Most of the time, Aurora orthodontics practices are automatically associated with braces and other treatment methods used to straighten out a person’s teeth. While there is nothing wrong with that line of thinking, it should be emphasized that orthodontics goes beyond simply straightening the teeth. One of the other dental problems that experienced orthodontists, such as Dr. Charles F. Reed, treat is TMJ.

TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, is a hinge joint that connects the jaw to the skull. This joint controls the movements that allow the lower jaw to open, close, and move from side to side. The flexible movements of the TMJ are what enables a person to speak, chew, yawn, etc.

In essence, the TMJ is one of the strongest joints in the human body, but there are instances when the TMJ becomes overstressed. When this happens, a person develops temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
