TMJ Treatment in East Hanover, NJ
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder refers to a condition affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, leading to pain, discomfort, and difficulty with jaw movement. It can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, headaches, earaches, clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth, and difficulty chewing. TMJ disorders may result from various factors, including teeth grinding, jaw injury, arthritis, or stress. Treatment options for TMJ disorder may include custom-made oral appliances like night guards or splints to alleviate pressure on the jaw, adjustments to the bite, physical therapy, or, in severe cases, referrals for surgical interventions. We will evaluate the severity of the condition and recommend a tailored treatment plan to help relieve symptoms and improve jaw function.
