New Evidence-Based Approaches Transform TMJ Treatment at Center for Transformative Dentistry

New Approaches for TMJ Treatment

The Center for Transformative Dentistry in Annapolis, led by Dr. Yasaman Roland, is pioneering innovative treatments for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ), which affects an estimated 40 million Americans. Many current treatment options do not address the complex, multi-faceted origins of TMJ, making effective relief a challenge for countless patients. Dr. Roland is transforming conventional practices by offering a holistic and evidence-based solution that emphasizes understanding the underlying causes of the disorder.

Dr. Roland, who has over 15 years of experience, has shifted her dental practice to focus on integrative care for complex conditions like TMJ. Through comprehensive training in structural alignment and facial development, she utilizes state-of-the-art 360-degree imaging technology to examine patients holistically. This approach allows her to consider not just dental health but also alignment issues in the jaw, neck, and spine that contribute to TMJ symptoms such as jaw pain, chronic headaches, and facial joint popping.

"TMJ can be notoriously difficult to diagnose because it isn’t limited to the dental realm alone. It requires a thorough understanding of the patient's entire physiology to tailor treatments effectively," explains Dr. Roland.

Utilizing advanced imaging, Dr. Roland can pinpoint areas of misalignment and postural deficiencies. After identifying these structural issues, she develops personalized treatment plans aimed at enhancing the jaw’s positioning and relieving muscle tension without the need for invasive procedures or medications. In instances where teeth grinding is part of the problem, her treatment may also involve restoring tooth structure to enhance overall function and aesthetics.

Moreover, Dr. Roland applies similar methodologies when addressing sleep apnea, particularly in situations where impaired growth patterns restrict airflow. The same diagnostic techniques are invaluable in pediatric care, where early assessments can minimize the necessity for orthodontics and promote more symmetrical facial development.

Throughout her practice, patients have shared their success stories, documented on the Center’s website with numerous before-and-after images that showcase the transformative results achieved under Dr. Roland’s care. These images reflect the positive impact of her unique blend of dental expertise and holistic strategies, validating the effectiveness of her methods.
