Signs of TMJ Disorder
While pain throughout the jaw is often the most common sign of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), other problems may occur that can determine when it’s time to seek the help of our dental team:
- Clicking and popping of the jaw
- Difficulty opening and closing your mouth
- Difficulty eating or chewing
- Headaches
- Earaches
- Stiff jaw muscles
- Misaligned bite that causes teeth to not fit together
Equilibration/Occlusal Adjustment
When the cause of your TMJ Disorder is due to a misaligned bite, an equilibration or occlusal adjustment can be highly effective in improving jaw pain. The process involves minimal reshaping of certain teeth so that they will fit together properly. As a result, the jaw will be seated correctly so that it functions normally. No longer will you experience fatigued muscles or intense pain.
BOTOX Treatment for TMJ Pain
Another viable option for TMJ treatment is the use of Botox. This injectable solution can be safely used to temporarily freeze jaw muscles and alleviate pressure and tension placed on the jaw joints. This helps to eliminate pain and create a more pleasing day-to-day experience. However, it may be used in combination with other treatments to ensure that long-term results are achieved.
