Neuromuscular Dentistry and TMJ![]() TMJ DentistThe Bellevue neuromuscular dentists at Cooley Smiles inspect your TMJ for irregularities every time you come in for an examination in order to detect signs of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). The Function of Your Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)The purpose of your TMJ is to allow your mouth to move both up and down and side to side. When it is properly aligned, your teeth meet in their optimal bite position, allowing for routine functions such as chewing and speaking to occur properly and without discomfort. Normal TMJ function is essential not only for chewing and speaking, but for overall comfort in your jaw. When your TMJ is misaligned, you may experience headaches, extreme pain in the jaw, and ear or sinus infections. Bellevue neuromuscular dentists Dr. Aaron Cooley and Dr. Brandon Cooley can identify and treat these alignment issues so that you do not experience additional health concerns associated with TMD.
