Vienna VA Orthodontist Helps Alleviate Pain From Movement Disorders

By Jonathan Aban


The work of an orthodontist is not purely aesthetic, they play in important part in not just aligning the teeth but also the jawline and ultimately the facial structure. This is important, especially for those who may suffer from movement disorders such as Temporomandibular joint and craniofacial disorders. For those individuals, a devoted Northern Virginia orthodontist can help them to find pain relief from these conditions.

TMJ disorder affects the opening and closing of a jaw and this can be very restrictive and painful for patients. Because this joint is located just below the ears, it causes tremendous pain in that organ. This pain eventually spreads to the rest of your face and to the head, causing migraine.

Craniofacial disorders is the collective name for a group of disorders, usually congenital, that affect the hard and soft tissue in the face. These disorders can cause disfigurement and worse of all pain due to improper alignment of the face. The pain caused is not easily treated because it results from a permanent disorientation of the facial structure.

The aforementioned movement disorders are not easy to treat, but recently, many dentists who focus on orthodontics have come up with a form of therapy, labelled as Stack Therapy Protocol. This method does not involve surgery or the use of conventional medicines. Instead, it focuses on the realignment of the facial structures.

By correctly realigning the face, the pressure exerted on the nerves in the face and neck is reduced to cause less pain. This form of therapy is also praised as a way to increase the level of oxygen intake in those with movement disorders. The realignment of the structures in the face, facilitate the complete opening of the jaw and thus increases the oxygen transport to the tissues.

With the Stack Therapy Protocol, there is no Northern Virginia orthodontist who cannot provide relief of pain in patients with various movement disorders. These disorders affect the quality of life of many people who may have tried many methods of pain relief. However, this non-invasive method is a new advancement in therapy that is long overdue.
