TruDenta® TMJ and Headache Relief
Many people do not realize that pain around their forehead, temples, neck, and jaw could actually be interconnected. The muscles that run along one’s jaw and mouth can cause imbalances that result in chronic headaches. Orthodontists can utilize orthodontic treatment services to reduce these symptoms. FDA-approved TruDenta® helps manage long-term head pain.
WHAT IS TRUDENTA® HEADACHE PAIN TREATMENT?
Unlike many other treatment options that only mask the pain, TruDenta® actually addresses the root cause of pain around the head and neck. Dr. Steven Ricci uses a combination of techniques derived from sports medicine to target improper muscle forces in the head. This includes muscles and other soft tissue around the neck, jaw, and temples.
WHY WOULD I WANT TRUDENTA® TREATMENT?
Modern research continues to show us that many of the causes of TMJ, tinnitus, vertigo, tension headaches, and chronic headaches are actually interconnected. This includes uneven forces throughout the head that will affect a patient’s chemical and nerve reactions. These issues can also be the result of head or neck trauma from car accidents, bad posture, and sports injuries. As an alternative to masking the pain with medication, TruDenta® provides long-term pain relief by treating the root cause of your discomfort.
You’re not alone if you’ve tried dental braces for adults or continue taking pain relievers every day. Studies have shown us that around 45 million Americans suffer from recurring headaches. The TruDenta® system is an effective strategy for treating these issues without the need for multiple surgeries, painful shots, or addictive prescription medication. With the TruDenta® system, patients will finally be able to enjoy relief from chronic pain.
HOW DOES TREATMENT WORK?
This process begins with a thorough health examination and screening carried out by Dr. Steven Ricci. Patients will need to inform our orthodontist of their medical history, any prescription medication that they are taking, and recent injuries. Dr. Steven Ricci can then use TruDenta® technology to pinpoint the cause of the pain in order to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan.
The goal of the TruDenta® System is to retrain the muscles and nerves that are connected to the trigeminal nucleus so that they can once again function in a healthy manner. The average appointment lasts for just 50 minutes and is completely pain-free. Depending on the severity of your pain, you will need anywhere from 1 to 12 treatments. These treatments should take place one week apart.
