Treatment Options for TMJ Disorder
Upon receiving a TMJ diagnosis, our team may recommend occlusal splints or equilibration to provide you with relief and stop the progression of your condition.
Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints are custom-crafted orthotic devices that you wear as you sleep. They’re designed to gently shift your jaw into its ideal position to distribute pressure evenly among both of your temporomandibular joints, minimizing pain the next day.
Occlusal Adjustments/Equilibration
Jaw pain can be caused by misshapen teeth or ill-fitted restorations. Equilibration is when we’ll go in and make slight alterations to your dental structure to even out your bite and eliminate additional strain on one or both of your joints.
