TMJ is a shortened term for the temporomandibular joint. The temporomandibular joint is the jaw joint responsible for allowing the mouth to open and close. There are many muscles surrounding this joint, and when it begins to malfunction, guests may experience pain and discomfort. Some of the most common signs of TMD include:
First, guests need to receive a proper diagnosis from a specialist. A dentist with experience in this area can also assist. A physical examination may be performed as well as x-rays to check the health of the surrounding area. Once a diagnosis has been reached, guests can learn about treatment options. The most popular is that of oral appliance therapy. Oral appliance therapy utilizes specialized mouth guards that are worn to realign the jaw joint to reduce tension and discomfort.
