If you suffer from any of the wide range of TMD symptoms, schedule an comprehensive TMJ exam with Dr. Maryam Motlagh.
As needed, we use advanced diagnostic modalities such as computerized jaw analysis, sonography, electromyography (EMG) or CT scans so we can evaluate your jaw function, muscle activity and TMJ health more thoroughly.
The TMJ treatment process is different for everyone. We start with a comprehensive exam to find the root cause of the problem and often address the issue with a multidisciplinary approach, bringing other specialists on board to decide the best treatment plan.
For the first 3 months we focus on non-invasive techniques to reprogram and relax the jaw muscles using functional oral appliances. Once the TMJ symptoms are alleviated, the patient has the option to use the appliances long term, transition into orthodontic treatment for long term stability or receive restorative treatment as needed.

OUR PERIODONTISTS AND PREVENTATIVE CARE
Regular general dentistry visits to your Portland, Oregon dental team can help you receive the care you need. If gingivitis and gum disease occurs, our trained periodontists can provide the necessary treatment. Our team is dedicated to treating existing gum conditions and taking preventative measures to ensure these issues do not reoccur.
Routine preventative care can prevent gum disease, decay, and other dental conditions before they can develop. Our general dentistry team offers comprehensive checkups, screenings, and periodontal cleanings for the entire family.
Our team helps determine the best practices and products for your daily oral hygiene routine. We also offer dental sealants for added protection from bacteria and tooth decay. When needed, we can provide bio-compatible dental restorations to re-establish optimal oral health. Keep up with regular cleanings to get yourself one step closer to that perfect smile!
BEST ORTHODONTISTS IN PORTLAND, OREGON
Our Portland, Oregon-based orthodontists work with you to give you a confidence-boosting smile that you deserve. People will often think that they cannot do anything about their teeth without invasive or long-term procedures — but they would be wrong!
Crooked and misaligned teeth can affect your confidence and self-esteem. As an alternative to traditional metal braces, our office provides Invisalign® and Clear Correct to provide orthodontic treatment. Both of these methods use clear, removable aligner trays to exert gentle pressure on your dental arches, pushing teeth into straighter, more even positions.
Clear aligners are used mainly for cosmetic concerns and are not recommended for patients who suffer from TMJ disorders. For patients suffering from TMJ and related pain, Myoaligner® may be the best fit for you.
LOCAL PREVENTATIVE DENTAL CENTER
When finding a general dentistry center in Portland, Oregon, you want a team that places their patients first. They're composed of local dentists that know what they're doing and work to alleviate any anxiety you may feel about your upcoming procedure.

Aesthetic Smiles' approach to dentistry has transformed patient comfort during dental procedures.

Patients who have avoided dental visits for years can receive the vital care they need for a healthy smile through sedation. We also offer soothing music, warm neck pillows, and blankets to naturally take the body to a relaxed, meditative stage.
