The case begins like many others: persistent jaw pain with no clear solution. You've tried general dentists, but the mystery remains unsolved. Here are some clues that you may need a TMJ (temporomandibular joints) specialist, not just any dentist:
- Chronic headaches that don't respond to typical treatments
- Jaw clicking, popping, or locking that's getting worse
- Muscle fatigue in your face, neck, or shoulders
- Previous dental treatments that didn't address the root cause
Following the Wrong Clues
Many TMJ patients become frustrated detectives, following leads that go nowhere. General dentists often suggest basic night guards or say, "just wait and see", missing evidence because they lack specialized neuromuscular training.
The first clue you need a true TMJ specialist? Your symptoms affect more than just your jaw. Chronic headaches, neck tension, and ear problems often stem from temporomandibular joint dysfunction. A qualified TMJ specialist understands these connections.
Solving Your Case
Dr. Roberto Monteagudo, a maxillofacial expert in Milwaukee, treats TMJ cases like a seasoned detective with advanced forensic tools. He has a secret weapon: the TENS K-7 unit, which delivers low-frequency electrical impulses to relax jaw muscles into their ideal position.
While other practitioners guess at the cause, Dr. Monteagudo measures and records your exact jaw alignment, uncovering whether bite misalignment, bruxism, or other factors underpin your symptoms. The right TMJ specialist both treats symptoms and solves the underlying mystery. Dr. Monteagudo's neuromuscular approach addresses root causes through targeted treatments like bite reconstruction, orthodontic therapy, or specialized mouthguards.
His decades of experience treating TMJ patients from across Wisconsin mean he's seen virtually every type of TMJ case. This extensive case history allows him to identify patterns and develop effective treatment strategies quickly.
