Dr. Lavigne is a highly experienced and knowledgeable practitioner with a deep understanding of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). She recognizes the importance of precise diagnosis and intervention when it comes to TMJ disorders.
In order to accurately evaluate the current position and health of a patient's TMJ, Dr. Lavigne works closely with radiologists to obtain detailed images through cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). By carefully analyzing these images, she can identify any abnormalities or irregularities that may be contributing to a patient's TMJ dysfunction or altered growth.
With this information, Dr. Lavigne can develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's unique needs, helping them achieve lasting relief from their symptoms or growth in a more favorable direction. Although we are not a pain clinic evaluating the TMJ in isolation, our orthodontic treatment plans incorporate our joint evaluations for the most tailored orthodontic plan for your specific joint needs.
