TMJ disorder (temporomandibular joint disorder) is a "multifactorial condition." It develops when several factors overlap, such as problems with your bite, clenching and psychological stress. At our clinic, our approach centers on conservative therapy.
Splint (mouthpiece) therapy is one of the main treatments. It has been recognized as effective in reducing abnormal biting loads at night and letting the jaw joints and chewing muscles rest.
In addition, when the chewing muscles are very tense and there is pain or difficulty opening the mouth, Botox (botulinum toxin) therapy, which temporarily reduces muscle activity, becomes an option.
Improving daily habits is also important. TCH (tooth contacting habit), which means keeping the upper and lower teeth touching without realizing it, has been shown to increase the strain on the jaw joints. Through behavioral therapy, we help you correct this habit, aiming for a condition that is less likely to recur.
