TMD Treatment
Neuromuscular Dentistry Directory
f you are diagnosed with TMD, an experienced neuromuscular dentist can determine the best course of treatment for your particular needs. Because research has shown that the underlying conditions causing TMD can be structural, biochemical or emotional, your TMD treatment plan will be unique to you and may address any or all of these aspects. Your neuromuscular dentist will address the structural problem by treating bite misalignment which, in turn, will a help the biochemical and emotional elements by relieving pain.
Overview of TMD Treatment
- Relieve muscle spasm and pain through gentle electrical stimulation.
- Stabilize your bite by wearing a temporary device (orthotic) over your back teeth. This device is adjustable and will allow your neuromuscular dentist to make a series of gentle corrections until your bite is stabilized.
- Providing long term care to ensure that your bite remains stabilized and your TMD symptoms do not recur.
If you or a loved one are suffering symptoms of TMD, and wondering if you in fact have TMD, please make an appointment today with an experienced neuromuscular dentist to discuss treatment options.
