TMJ/TMD Treatment Process
Rochester, Rochester Hills, Oakland Township and surrounding areas of Michigan
At Rochester Advanced Dentistry in Rochester, MI, our highly skilled neuromuscular dentistry team takes the time to thoroughly evaluate your symptoms and examine your jaw joint system using high-tech diagnostic equipment. Once you are diagnosed with TMJ/TMD, our doctors will use their findings to develop a personalized neuromuscular therapy plan to restore your bite and give you relief from your symptoms.
A diagnosis of TMJ/TMD means you have a dysfunction in the jaw joint and jaw muscle areas. Your neuromuscular dentist will study the relationship between your teeth, jaw muscles, and your jaw movements, to understand the dysfunction and formulate a strategy for improvement. Treatment may involve repositioning the jaw into its most comfortable posture and supporting it with an oral appliance. Once comfort is attained, more permanent support is attained through Orthodontics or restorative procedures.
Each individual has unique jaw joint dysfunction, and a combination of therapies may be recommended for permanent correction. The goal of treatment is to alleviate pain, soreness and other symptoms and to improve the function of the jaw joint.
Treatments for TMJ/TMD may include:
- TENS electrical stimulation
- EMG measurements of Facial Muscles
- Cosmetic dentistry
- Oral appliances
- Medication
- Physical therapy
- Lifestyle recommendations
