Beginning the Road to Relief
A temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder, also known as TMD, can have many causes and manifest a wide variety of symptoms, so getting the diagnosis right is extremely important when recommending an effective treatment. That’s why Dr. Brunner relies on the latest technology when diagnosing TMJ in Wauwatosa, and he is constantly training so he can become even better at identifying the underlying cause of our patients' TMD-related pain and sleep problems.

How TMJ Disorder Is Diagnosed
After having the patient describe their symptoms, Dr. Brunner will systematically examine the TMJ using a wide variety of methods. These can include manually manipulating the joint, taking X-rays, performing joint vibration analysis, and taking a CBCT scan so he can fully understand a patient’s situation and anatomy before making any recommendations. Once he determines the source of the problem, he can then work with a patient to help them find the most direct solution.
