What are my TMJ treatment options?

Before providing TMJ disorder treatment options, it is essential to contact a TMJ specialist Canada for initial consultation. This can help to determine the essential course of action. Given below are some ways through which you can effectively treat your TMD.

Over-the-counter medication:

We can prescribe specific medications that can help in pain relief or swelling due to TMJ. We can focus on having lifestyle choices contributing towards relaxation of muscles as well as decreasing teeth grinding chances.

Nightguard:

The most common TMJ disorder treatment recommended by TMJ specialist Canada are customized night guards. They can directly fit over upper or lower teeth. They can help to prevent teeth grinding. They can also contribute to a significant improvement in biting and also increase airflow.

Possible Dental Work:

Depending on the case, there may be protruding teeth or crowns/bridges that are contributing to pain in the jaw. This will have to be determined in the office during consultation and testing. In very severe circumstances, we may recommend a surgery with an oral surgeon.

Orthodontic treatment:

A malocclusion can result in causing severe jaw pain. Moreover, Irregular bites can also create traumatizing levels of pain that can put stress on dental joints. This can create tooth wear. Due to this reason, having an orthodontic treatment helps in correction of your bite along with advancement in aligner therapy.
