Treatment Options for TMJ Disorders

TMJ specialists offer a range of treatment options, from non-invasive therapies to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the condition:

• Medications: Pain relievers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs can help manage symptoms.
• Therapies: Physical therapy, including exercises to strengthen jaw muscles, and cognitive behavioral therapy to address stress-related jaw clenching.
• Dental Splints: Custom-made appliances that prevent teeth grinding and alleviate pressure on the jaw.
• Surgery: In severe cases, surgical procedures like arthroscopy or open-joint surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the jaw joint.
