While some dentists provide oral appliances to resolve TMJ problems or recommend invasive surgery, Dr. Brunner offers a third option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His holistic approach focuses on the source of your pain, not simply applying a \u201cband-aid\u201d solution and hoping for the best. He asks the right questions to determine exactly what\u2019s causing your problems in order to create a more accurate diagnosis to address your concerns. While our office will likely recommend an oral appliance to ensure you get relief, this is not the end-all-be-all for your treatment. It\u2019s simply one aspect of your ongoing partnership with Dr. Brunner and the rest of his team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve served&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmbrookfamilydental.com\/video-testimonials.html#tmj\">countless patients<\/a>&nbsp;over the years who have struggled with problems related to their TMJ, so feel free to learn more about their stories before you call.
