Understanding TMJ/TMD

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a sliding hinge, connecting your jawbone to your skull. Disorders of this joint can cause pain and discomfort in your jaw and in the muscles that control jaw movement. Symptoms of TMJ/TMD may include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, locking of the jaw joint, and a clicking or grinding sound when you open your mouth or chew.

Our Approach to TMJ/TMD Treatment

We adopt a comprehensive approach to TMJ/TMD treatment. During your initial consultation, our orthodontists will conduct a thorough examination of your jaw and teeth, discuss your symptoms, and review your medical history to accurately diagnose your condition. We may utilize advanced imaging techniques to gain a detailed understanding of your jaw’s structure and function.

Our treatment plans for TMJ/TMD are tailored to address the specific needs of each patient. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatment options may include:

• Orthodontic Appliances: Custom-made orthodontic devices, such as splints or mouthguards, can be used to relieve pressure on the jaw and facilitate proper alignment.
• Orthodontic Correction: Misalignment of teeth can contribute to TMJ/TMD. Braces or other orthodontic treatments can correct misalignments, relieving symptoms.
• Exercise and Physical Therapy: Specific exercises may be recommended to strengthen jaw muscles and improve flexibility.
• Stress Management: Techniques to manage stress can help reduce jaw clenching and grinding, common contributors to TMJ/TMD.
