TMJ TREATMENT AT CORBIN DENTAL
Do we frequently suffer from headaches, jaw pain, or trouble chewing? Do we grit the teeth or clench the jaw TMJ Corbin might affect we.
Some of the warning signs and symptoms of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD), sometimes known as TMJ Corbin are listed above. The lower mandible and the skull are joined at the temporomandibular joint. It makes regular oral function—chewing, speaking, and so on—easier. Often, discomfort and reduced function follow joint injury or muscle tension that restricts the joint. Disorders of the TMJ can result from overuse, inflammation, or a jaw injury.
The daily quality of life may be impacted by TMJ, which is also regarded as a bite disorder. The joint may sustain severe damage, or the symptoms may get worse.
IDENTIFYING THE SIGNIFICANCE OF TMJ AND TEETH GRINDING
There are additional symptoms and indicators that can point to a biting condition or TMJ Corbin dysfunction in addition to the TMJ symptoms and signs discussed above. Early intervention can frequently increase the likelihood that a conservative treatment strategy will be effective.
TMJ symptoms may be present in many persons and include:
- headaches frequently in the morning
- Jaws that hurt or feel worn out
- A feeling of fullness and aching in the ears
- Pain or stiffness in the neck and shoulders, especially in the morning
- teeth that seem worn or flat
- increased sensitivity of teeth
WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS FOR TMJ TREATMENT?
The course of treatment for a biting issue like TMJ varies from patient to patient. Our dental therapy for TMJ aims to locate and deal with the root of the issue, repair any harm, and treat symptoms. To reach treatment objectives and enable we to smile freely once more, a variety of treatments can be utilised individually or in combination.
Techniques for muscle relaxation: For mild cases of TMJ, our dental experts may work with we to practise strategies for muscle relaxation that can gradually ease jaw strain.
A bespoke mouthguard, often known as a night guard, is made to realign the jaw so that it can relax in a natural position.
Procedures for restoring teeth: If teeth have been broken, fractured, or damaged, we may suggest tooth bonding, dental crowns, or dental veneers to restore and resurface the teeth and relieve any stress placed on them during contact.
Orthodontics may be advised to straighten teeth and equalise the bite if malocclusion is the root cause of a bite condition.
