There are various treatment options that we can utilize to improve the harmony and function of your jaw. Once an evaluation confirms a diagnosis of TMJ disorder,we will determine the proper course of treatment. It is important to note that treatment always works best with a team approach of self-care joined with professional care.
If your TMJ disorder has caused problems with how your teeth fit together, you may need treatment such as bite adjustment (equilibration), orthodontics with or without jaw reconstruction, or restorative dental work. Surgical options such as arthroscopy and open joint repair restructuring are sometimes needed, but are reserved for severe cases.We do not consider TMJ surgery unless the jaw cant open, is dislocated and non reducible, has severe degeneration, or the patient has undergone appliance treatment unsuccessfully.
