TMJ Evaluation
The first step in any TMJ treatment plan is to determine what is actually causing the pain. Is it arthritis in the joint? The result of an injury? A misalignment of the bite? Determining this answer will help us figure out the right solution.
Occlusal Equilibration
When the bite is misaligned, this can cause the jaw to make small adjustments whenever you open and close your mouth. These can put quite a bit of strain on the joint and muscles, leading to TMJ pain. With an equilibration/occlusal adjustment, we can slightly reshape a few key teeth so that the bite is perfectly aligned.
Custom Occlusal Splints
Each splint is custom-made for every patient, and they work by slightly shifting the jaw into a physiologic rest position. Over time, this will enable the muscles and joint to heal and find this new, healthier orientation on their own.
Botox
While more commonly thought of as a cosmetic treatment, BOTOX is a proven solution for many patients who are suffering from chronic TMJ. It can help people impacted by jaw clicking, clenching, lock jaw and other TMD-related issues. Patients unable to wear an occlusal splint often benefit as well.
