The Process of Temporomandibular Disorder Treatment in Southfield
Treatment for temporomandibular disorder begins with a consultation. During this initial visit, we discuss your symptoms and assess your jaw and teeth to understand the root causes of your discomfort. This involves a physical exam and imaging tests to get a detailed view of your jaw structure.
Based on the assessment, we’ll develop a treatment plan. This plan may include physical therapy techniques to strengthen and relax your jaw muscles, as well as specialized appliances to correct alignment and relieve pressure. These appliances are designed to be comfortable and minimally invasive, allowing you to wear them without significant disruption to your daily life.
Throughout your treatment, we’ll have regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and adjust the treatment plan if necessary. This continuous monitoring helps us address any changes in your symptoms and so that the treatment remains effective.
Our goal through this process is not just to temporarily alleviate the symptoms but to provide a long-lasting solution that improves oral health and quality of life.
If you’re experiencing chronic jaw pain, difficulty in opening or closing your mouth, a clicking or popping sound when moving your jaw, or frequent headaches that seem related to your jaw, these could be signs that you need TMD treatment.
Treatments can vary depending on the severity of your condition but often include physical therapy to strengthen and relax jaw muscles, custom-made oral appliances to correct jaw alignment, and sometimes medications to reduce inflammation or pain. In some cases, changes to diet and habits that strain the jaw can also be recommended.
Some patients notice improvements in a few weeks, while others may need a few months of treatment to see significant changes. The timeline can vary based on your condition and the type of treatment being used. Regular follow-up visits help track your progress and adjust the treatment as needed.

I had such a great experience at this office! Everyone was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming from start to finish. The staff made me feel very comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly.
Had a wonderful visit. From start to finish! Best staff in any office ever. The dentist is the best!! She is highly skilled. But also kind. Love going !! B
My experience with Mission Point Dental Wellness always positive. I had implant surgery and because my mouth opening is small it's hard for me to open wide. Dr Remi Ajluni was extremely patient and gentle. I love the entire staff and my entire family has been coming here for years.
I’ve been coming here since I was a kid. The quality of the care is extremely high - everyone I interact with from front door, to hygienist, to dentist is a delight. So professional and caring.
Mission Point Dental was recommended by my Physician. The staff are most professional and courteous. The care given is the best that I have ever had and the office has a warm and welcoming environment. Open treatment rooms with lots of windows immediately puts one at ease. Highly recommended!
Whenever I go to my dentist office, I have a pleasant experience. The hygienist and dentist along with her assistant always ensure that you are comfortable. If there is pain, they will explain prior to and explain why which makes it bearable. The entire team is courteous and sensitive to your needs.
Very patient, knowledgeable and helpful. From the kind receptionist, amazing Lisa and Dr. Ajluni.<br><br>Highly recommend for any dental services needs.
Today, was my first cleaning at this practice. Erica, was my hygienist and is very nice. She explained everything prior to doing anything and asked if I had any concerns. I will continue to see her and the clinic.
Always feel good when I leave. Going I feel nervous. As soon as I walk in the office that all changes the staff welcomes you with smiles and a ease that is so nice. The doctors listen and have so much empathy and knowledge.
The staff were warm and welcoming. They catered to my "Dentalphobia" and made it an (almost)pleasant experience. No I'm just kidding! I just don't like the dental tools and stuff. Wonderful people! I even hugged the amazing Amy 😘💜
I have had the pleasure of having Lisa as my hygienist a number of times now and she goes above & beyond to make the entire experience painless! Everyone at Mission Pointe is professional, buttoned-up and friendly from the dentists to the front desk.<br>I would highly recommend.
I absolutely love this dental office. They make sure you are comfortable before any work begins and informs you of what is going on every step of the way. They are a 5 star plus establishment! Everyone there treats the patients with the upmost respect! Thank you Mission Point Dental!
This was my first visit with the office and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Took the time to explain the procedures being completed and I felt comfortable and relaxed through the whole visit, from check-in to check-out.
I had an amazing experience at this office. The staff was very welcoming, knowledgeable and did an exceptional job tending to my oral health. I left feeling excited about my next visit.
Omg! This place is amazing. Very friendly and helpful. And made the process so easy. Thank you doctor ajluni and thank you Jenn for the amazing help and welcoming energy.
I always have high anxiety when I walk into the Dentist office, my experience here made me feel more at ease than any prior office I have Ever been treated in....Thank you Dawn and Erika
After looking for a new dentist, I was recommended to Mission Point and after my recent appointment this will definitely be my new dental office. The entire staff was friendly and handled everything with care. My actual doctor was very thorough and informative. She notified me of a few things that previously dentist didn’t go over. I would 100% recommend this company.
Excellent staff, very professional, and up to date on newest equipment and products. As the staff has changed over the years their practice has always been the best. Have referred freind's and family to this practice. (Best staff Amy and Lori and the past greatest employees Barb and Nyla miss you.
I had the best dental experience at Misssion Point! Everyone was patient and gentle when it came to handling the tools/drills. They are very professional; thorough in explaining any issues or just general dental health. I would recommend to anyone and I'm looking forward to coming back ❤
Super easy appointment. They got me in for my cleaning within 2 minutes of walking in the door and they got me out asap. Will be back. Best dentist around!
