We approach TMD patients by examining and diagnosing the cause of pain and applying appropriate management to relieve symptoms. This treatment may include (but not be limited to), physical therapy, myofascial trigger points, TMJ mobilisation, postural correction combined with specific jaw exercises. This approach is often successful in alleviating the problem quickly and inexpensively.
Some patients however, may have significant jaw damage and may require the services of an appropriately experienced and qualified Dentist specialising in jaw. Dental treatment can often require the prescription of a removable appliance worn temporarily inside the mouth to change jaw joint position and the way the teeth come together.
If this is successful, then possibly no more treatment is required but in some cases the dental bite needs to be permanently changed to gain lasting relief from jaw symptoms. In this case orthodontic type treatment can be the answer.
