If you’re experiencing the bothersome buzzing or hissing sounds of tinnitus, know that you’re not alone—approximately 1 in 5 people are going through this with you.

It’s more than just your ears

The constant ringing in the ears from tinnitus can impact various aspects of your life. Apart from affecting hearing and concentration, tinnitus sufferers commonly experience depression, fatigue, stress, and anxiety, leading to a statistically lower overall quality of life.

However, there’s hope

Tinnitus can have multiple causes, making it challenging to identify the root cause. Fortunately, many cases of tinnitus can be linked to underlying issues with the mouth and jaw. In such instances, chronic tinnitus symptoms can be effectively and permanently resolved.

• Tinnitus can manifest as a range of sounds, including hissing, buzzing, clicking, or ringing in the ears. These sounds can vary from low volume to the point of interfering with hearing other sounds.
• In most cases, this sound is not a genuine external noise but rather a perception triggered by an underlying problem, leading the brain to believe it’s receiving auditory nerve stimuli.

There Is No Single Trigger

Tinnitus can result from various causes, including exposure to loud noise, earwax buildup, age-related hearing loss, and even side effects of certain medications.

It Could Be Due to Your Jaw

• The human jaw exerts an impressive force of over 260 pounds at the molars. However, unless this pressure is perfectly balanced, it can disrupt the delicate equilibrium of the jaw’s muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments.
• The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), located just in front of the ears, connects your jaw to the side of your head. It is one of the most complex joints in the body, with specialized structure and tissue composition. Any disturbance in its balance can lead to symptoms like tinnitus.

Tinnitus Treatments

Minimize The Noise

1. White noise machines can help mask the sounds of tinnitus during sleep, while masking devices worn in the ear during the day can produce low noise to cover up tinnitus symptoms.
2. Medication: In some cases, medications such as tricyclic antidepressants or alprazolam may suppress symptoms. However, these medications have significant side effects and may become habit-forming.

Regain Control of Your Life

By Identifying and Treating the Underlying Cause:

• Bite Force Analysis: TruDenta technology analyzes and displays the different forces at play in your mouth and jaw, including the pressure exerted by each individual tooth.
• Range of Motion Analysis: TruDenta’s ROM system measures abnormal or restricted movement in your head and neck, helping narrow down potential causes and develop a personalized treatment plan.

TruDenta’s Assessment Process:

• Bite Force Analysis
• Range of Motion Analysis
• Headache History Form
• Muscle Exam
• Head Health Questionnaire

The TruDenta T-Scan technology allows us to precisely assess your mouth and jaw for dental imbalances during opening, closing, and chewing, right down to the amount and direction of the force exerted by each individual tooth.

Treatment Process

• Ultrasound
• Muscle Therapy
• Photobiomodulation

Customized treatment plans are crafted to target the specific symptoms of each patient, incorporating multiple FDA-cleared, painless technologies, such as ultrasound, low-level photobiomodulation, microcurrent, and manual muscle therapy.

The number of treatments needed varies, ranging from one to twelve sessions, with each session lasting one hour and completed on a weekly basis.
