Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are two small hinges you can feel right in front of your ears whenever you open your mouth or move it from side to side. Whether due to a bad bite, stress, or teeth grinding, it and the surrounding muscles can become strained, leading to:
- Stiff or aching jaw
- Headaches/migraines
- Trouble opening/closing the mouth
- Jaw that constantly pops and clicks
- Sensitive/worn-down teeth
- Ear/neck/shoulder pain
TMJ Treatment Options
After thoroughly examining your bite and jaw as well as discussing your symptoms, our team may recommend one or more of the following treatments to provide relief and fix any underlying issues.
Equilibration/ Occlusal Adjustments
This involves making very small adjustments to certain teeth by removing or building up enamel, and this can restore balance to the bite. When the mouth closes, the force will be evenly distributed, saving the TMJ from being strained on one side. The alterations are so small that patients don’t even need to be numb to stay comfortable while in the chair.
Occlusal Splints
An occlusal splint is a special type of mouthguard that’s worn to bed. It protects the teeth from grinding while also placing the jaw in a more natural position so that the muscles of the face can relax and heal. It enables a patient to wake up the next day and be mostly (or completely after consistent use) symptom and pain-free.
