TMJ Testimonial

Description

A long-time patient of Dr. Timothy M. Kelly's, Lauren started noticing TMJ symptoms as an adult. She knew she could trust our Albuquerque dentist for care that actually helped. Dr. Kelly developed a week-by-week plan for Lauren that has completely relieved her jaw pain and headaches, and she says she’s thankful for the treatment.

First visit here was as a kid, I would get my teeth cleaned by my mom who worked here. But then as I grew up, I started to have some jaw problems. As Dr. Kelly would say, "It's TMJ." I came to get that aligned and fixed so that I would no longer have pain in my jaw. You do week-by-week adjustments, and he just shaves down this giant piece of plastic that's in your mouth, and it adjusts the bite and the pressure you're placing at each point. Then after the splint, you go into Invisalign which adjusts your teeth and your bite that way. With the treatment, it's had a great impact on me anyways because I don't have the jaw pain anymore. I don't have the headaches that came along with it. I think what impressed me most with the office is just how welcoming and friendly all the staff are. I'd like to tell the doctor and the team just in general, like, thank you for the help and actually helping with my jaw and getting rid of the pain and making it comfortable again.
