Frequently Asked
Questions
What causes TMJ dysfunction?
TMJ dysfunction may result from misaligned bite, teeth grinding, trauma, or muscle tension. Each case varies, and diagnosis guides treatment.
Do you use surgery for TMJ treatment?
In most cases, we begin with noninvasive care like mouthguards and orthodontic therapy. Surgery is rarely the first option.
How long does TMJ treatment take?
TMJ therapy may require several weeks or months depending on severity and patient response to treatment.
Can orthodontics help TMJ issues?
Yes. Correcting bite alignment through orthodontics can relieve undue stress on the temporomandibular joints.
Will I get a custom mouthguard?
Yes. We often design a custom night guard to reduce grinding and protect your TMJ while treatment progresses.
