The main reason for TMJ symptoms is incorrect position of the condyle of the jaw inside the joint, which is usually jammed up and back, causing the damage of the soft tissues and dislocation of the disc. If it is not corrected, it can cause damage to the bones, which may be irreversible. The first step in treating TMJ is to get a correct diagnosis. It involves taking special X-rays, examination of the patient’s mouth and a muscle test. When diagnosis is confirmed, then treatment can be started. Treatment of TMJ disorder may involve a special bite appliance (TMJ splint). A TMJ splint is a removable piece of plastic, which is placed between the teeth to guide the lower jaw into the right position in order to provide the joint with rest and time to heal. If this treatment is successful, then the next step will be to perform orthodontic or prosthodontic treatment in order to change the relationship between the upper and lower teeth permanently and arrange the correct position of the jaws. Medication to treat inflammation and pain, heat and massage to calm muscle spasms, exercises and relaxation techniques may also be helpful. TMJ disorder is causing pain for millions of people and the treatment of TMJ is a necessary step to cure this pain and create your Real Smile.
