TMJ and TMD Treatment |

The TMJ (or tempromandibular joint) is a hinge that connects the jaw to the skull. This particular joint allows you to move your jaw and, in turn, allows you to talk and chew. If you suffer from pain in this area, you might suffer from TMD, or temporomandibular disorders.

The TMJ may become irritated and painful for a number of reasons including bite problems (malocclusion), clenching and grinding the teeth (bruxism), or deterioration within the joint itself. Once the problem has been properly diagnosed, conservative treatment is usually possible by fabricating a bite appliance to relax the jaw muscles and reduce the load on the joint. Medication and physical therapy may also be utilized to bring relief.
