Patients who suffer from TMJ disorder know that it can have far-reaching consequences.

At Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders in Kansas City, MO our TMJ doctors are available to help you and your loved ones treat the symptoms and underlying causes of temporomandibular joint disorders.

Millions of people suffer from TMJ disorder and many may not even know they have it. Many people with undiagnosed TMJ think their pain is just the result of a stressful day. However, the pain and discomfort of TMJ can be a much deeper problem that may result in permanent issues if left unaddressed. The doctors at Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders in Kansas, MO have the knowledge and experience to fully understand the tension in your jaw and deliver the Top treatment plan for you. We truly believe in working with each patient on an individual basis in order to deliver personalized care that can truly have a positive impact on your life.

TMJ disorder can manifest in many different ways, including popping and clicking of the jaw that is sometimes painful, difficulty opening the mouth normally, as well as pain that radiates away from the jaw into the face, head, and neck. Depending on the severity of your TMJ, there are many different treatments that may be considered. These treatments range from regular use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or muscle relaxants to orthodontic fixtures to help correct bite problems. For patients suffering with extreme cases of TMJ disorder, surgical intervention may be considered as a permanent solution. At Koala® Center For Sleep & TMJ Disorders, we prioritize non-invasive treatment therapies to avoid surgery when possible.

There are also alternative therapies and complementary techniques that can be implemented to support any treatments your doctor prescribes. These methods include relaxation techniques that can help relax muscles, including those in your face and jaw, acupuncture which has been shown to help treat chronic pain, and biofeedback therapy that uses electronic devises that monitor your muscles to help you better understand tension triggers. This is also a reason that counseling and physical therapy can sometimes be helpful; understanding your triggers, so you can better avoid stress and keep your jaw relaxed.
