Improve Your Facial
Features Without Surgery
If you suffer from TMJ syndrome, you know that the pain associated with
it can be too much to bear at times. Being properly treated
for this disorder is vital for your quality of life. But did
you know that fixing this painful problem can also improve your facial
features without surgery? TMJ sufferers may also have
aesthetic issues they struggle with, such as double chins, sagging
necks, and misaligned jaw lines. When TMJ is treated
successfully, the actual structure of one’s face and neck is
altered as well.
First, let us explore the symptoms of TMJ. Your
temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the joint that attaches your lower jaw
to your skull. If this joint is in any way compromised, the results can
be very painful. Oftentimes, the symptoms of TMJ disorder can
be associated with other health problems, so TMJ can be difficult to
diagnose at first. Some symptoms include headaches and
migraines, unexplained cracked or loose teeth, neck pain, back pain,
shoulder pain, facial pain, vertigo, congestion and more. The
symptoms are varied and are not always the same for different
individuals. If you have been suffering from one or some or
all of these symptoms, without relief, you may have TMJ.
Neuromuscular dentistry is the specialized field that can treat TMJ
effectively. Dr. Siman, at Millennium Dental in Los Angeles,
California, is a specialist in treating TMJ. Through advanced
technology, diagnostic testing and his specialized training, Dr. Siman
is able to treat your TMJ without using braces or surgery.
This is because his emphasis is on finding the most comfortable and
natural position for you jaw. This is done by correcting your
bite through the use of an orthotic, which acts as an extension of your
teeth. Through this corrective bite therapy, not only are
your symptoms alleviated but also the structure of your facial features
often will take on an improved look. The way your teeth and
jaw support the soft features of your face greatly affects the overall
aesthetic of your face. When your jaw is in the correct bite
position, you will often see a decrease in a double chin or sagging
skin around the neck. The shape of your jaw line will be
improved both physiologically and aesthetically.
If you have facial features that you are considering improving through
surgery, such as a double chin, weak jaw line or excess skin in the
neck area, you may also be suffering from TMJ syndrome. It is
possible that your jaw is misaligned, which is causing these features
to seem exaggerated or undesirable. Before committing to
invasive surgery, talk with a TMJ specialist to see if there is a non
surgical option available. TMJ therapy may be your
alternative to a face lift!
