Do you have daily headaches and sore TMJs (jaw joints)? If so, Sunrise Orthodontics in Reston may be able to help.
Dr. Liliana Calkins has implemented a new technology, known as the MLS Dental Laser, (ASA Laser, Italy), which can help in the reduction of pain and inflammation for headache and TMJ sufferers. MLS® Laser Therapy decisively accelerates relief of the symptoms caused by TMJ problems.
- Estimates suggest that TMJ dysfunction affects over 10 million Americans; the conditions seem to be more common in women than men (National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research)
- A survey of neurologists found that up to one-third of all patients consulted because of headache – more than for any other complaint (WHO, Factsheet 277, March 2004)
Often times, migraines and other severe headaches are the result of inflammation due to dysfunctions of the TMJs, or temporomandibular joints.
If you have frequent headaches and would like to discuss a treatment option, contact Dr. Liliana Calkins of Sunrise Orthodontics at (571) 244-7329 today.
