TMJ Treatment Options
Treating TMJ requires a thorough examination by Dr. Randhawa and our team, so you can expect diagnostic images to be taken when you arrive for your appointment. Once we analyze our findings, we will formulate a treatment plan that includes one or more of the following solutions:
Equilibration/Occlusal Adjustments
A misaligned bite can often be the cause of intense jaw pain. To remedy this problem, we can alter certain teeth so that they fit together properly. This alleviates pressure and pain in the jaw joints, allowing your oral structures to move more fluidly.
Occlusal Splints
Wearing a customized occlusal splint is also an effective way to treat TMJ. Worn throughout the day or just at night, the device serves as a barrier to prevent bruxism while also shifting the jaw so that it does not succumb to intense pressure. As a result, you will enjoy a more relaxed and pain-free smile.
