What Causes TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder is often a result of malocclusion (a poorly aligned bite).

When your top jaw is aligned with your bottom jaw, your bite is in its optimal position and the muscles will be calm and relaxed.

When the alignment is off, painful symptoms can result.

TMJ Treatment Options

If you are diagnosed with malocclusion, we will recommend a treatment plan that will correct your bite and alleviate pain and discomfort.

Treatment plans may include:

Occlusal Adjustment – Dental restorations, including crowns and veneers, can be placed on your teeth to raise or lower areas of your bite, creating a natural position for your jaw.

Splint Therapy – Splint therapy can put your bite back into proper alignment.
When the splint is worn over the upper teeth, it gently repositions the muscles, joints, and teeth so they work together without strain or pain.

Night Guard – A Night Guard is a custom-fit appliance that is worn during sleep. It prevents teeth from grinding during the night, so you awake refreshed and renewed. And so does your jaw.

Botox TreatmentBotox, renowned for its cosmetic applications, has also emerged as a promising option for TMJ treatment. Administered by our skilled professional, Dr. Mira Diora, Botox injections can target and relax the muscles around the jaw area. This muscle relaxation can significantly reduce tension, minimizing the grinding or clenching that contributes to TMJ issues.
