TMJ THERAPY

At Elmhurst Dental Studio, we specialize in providing effective TMJ therapy to alleviate discomfort and improve the function of your jaw. TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause pain, clicking or popping sounds, and limited jaw movement. Our TMJ therapy services are designed to diagnose the underlying issues and offer targeted treatments for lasting relief.

Understanding TMJ Therapy

TMJ therapy focuses on addressing the root causes of TMJ disorders, which can vary from patient to patient. Common treatments may include:

1. Customized Treatment Plans: Each patient receives a thorough evaluation to determine the best course of treatment. We develop personalized plans based on your specific symptoms and jaw function.
2. Splint Therapy: Oral splints or mouthguards may be prescribed to stabilize the jaw joint and alleviate pressure on the TMJ. These appliances are custom-fitted to ensure comfort and effectiveness.
3. Physical Therapy: Exercises and stretches may be recommended to strengthen jaw muscles and improve range of motion. Physical therapy can also help reduce muscle tension and joint stiffness.
4. Medications: In some cases, medications such as muscle relaxants or anti-inflammatories may be prescribed to alleviate pain and inflammation associated with TMJ disorders.
