What treatments will Dr Unti use?
Since
the teeth, jaw joints, and muscles can all be involved, treatment
will involve several phases. The first goal is to relieve the muscle
spasm and pain. This requires physical therapy and special
exercises. A temporary device (known as an orthotic or "sprint") is
fabricated to be worn over the teeth until the bite is stabilized.
We place special emphasis on minimizing the visibility of
appliances! Permanent correction may involve crowns, orthodontics,
and selective reshaping of the teeth. If the jaw itself is damaged,
it must be treated specifically. Though infrequent, surgery is
sometimes required to correct a damaged joint.In most cases we treat at Palatine Complete Dental, the symptoms related to
TMJ
disorders can be successfully treated to reduce or eliminate your
discomfort. Postponement of treatment usually results in more damage to
the joint, muscles, or teeth.
For more information about how we can help you with TMJ problems, call us
at 847 359-7520, we will be happy to help you.
