TMJ disorders can be caused by factors such as arthritis, injuries, disc displacement between the jawbone and socket, stress, and teeth grinding (bruxism).
Diagnosing TMJ disorders can be complex and may require various tests. Treatment options include stress management, bite plates, splint therapy, or short-term pain relief medications. If these don’t work, we may refer you to a TMJ specialist or Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon for further options, including arthroscopy, arthrocentesis, or joint reconstruction.
