Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ Treatment
Many patients have regained the ability to engage in daily activities such as talking, eating, and laughing pain-free thanks to TMJ treatment. The cornerstone of effective TMJ therapy lies in identifying the treatment approach that suits you best. Our range of options includes custom mouthguards, Invisalign, and Botox® injections, among others. Together, we’ll assess and select the most suitable method for your needs.
The duration of your TMJ treatment varies based on the specific method needed. For instance, Botox® treatment typically takes just 10 to 20 minutes to administer and proves effective for certain patients. Others may find relief by wearing a bite guard during sleep to alleviate TMJ discomfort. Alternatively, Invisalign clear aligners, often spanning 12 to 18 months, might be the preferred option for some individuals.
Sometimes, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can trigger discomfort in the adjacent muscles of the head and neck, sometimes mistaken for migraines. Wearing a mouthguard can help ease the pain stemming from TMJ inflammation and potentially provide relief from headaches.
