Dr. Kazerooni and our team make it a priority to ease your pain, not only during your appointments but in your daily life as well. Pain in your jaw, neck, and shoulders caused by the TMJ can make day-to-day life uncomfortable. At our practice in McLean, VA, we will do more than just ease your symptoms; we’ll fix the source of your problem.

We help free you from the following TMJ symptoms:

  • Pain in your jaw
  • Ear aches
  • Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Facial pain
  • Chronic head and shoulder aches

Non-invasive, pain-free solutions

TMD occurs when there is stress in your jaw and the muscles surrounding the joint. Neuromuscular dentistry focuses on improving the alignment of your jaw and bite, thereby alleviating the stress and pain. Many treatments or combination of treatments can be used to correct your bite, including a custom orthotic appliance. Many patients who come to us have been told they need surgery to correct their disorder. Our treatments are minimally invasive and can involve a variety of treatments, including a custom orthotic and orthodontics.

Why should you choose Dr. Kazerooni for your TMJ treatment?
Don’t take our word for it. Just listen to the amazing stories from our real patients.

“I can honestly say that my experience with Dr. Kazerooni and her office has changed my life. I have been suffering from TMJ since I was a child and it negatively impacted my life. I used to wake up every day in severe jaw and neck pain. I have seen countless doctors, each of whom did not know how to fix the problem. One doctor even told me that I needed jaw surgery.

When I met Dr. Kazerooni, I was very apprehensive given all of the procedures I have tried in the past. Instantly, I knew she would be able to help me because she actually listened to my problem. She didn’t assume that because she was a doctor she knew better than me. Instead, she took into consideration everything I said and created an orthotic and patient plan specifically for my problem.

She has been relentless in finding a way to help me, and I am happy to say I no longer wake up in pain every day. I would encourage anyone to see Dr. Kazerooni and her team because they are responsive, great listeners, and educated on the latest technology and determined for patients to be satisfied with their experience.

I actually look forward to going to see the dentist now!”
