What is TMJ/TMD Treatment?
Do you have pain when you open your mouth? Does your jaw click when you yawn? Do you suffer from recurring headaches? Do you hear clicking noises when you open and close your mouth?
If you answered yes to the above questions, you could be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint is also known as the TMJ or jaw joint. It allows the lower jaw to open and close and functions differently from every other joint in the body.
TMD can be a very distressing condition as the pain in your jaw joints can transcend to other parts of the body, leaving you clueless about the real reason behind the excruciating pain. The correct diagnosis for TMD can be challenging and often lead to difficulty in TMD treatment.
At Dr. Paul’s Dental Clinic, Dubai, we are TMD Treatment specialists as we have the expertise to diagnose Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and provide lasting solutions.
Visit Dr. Paul’s Dental Clinic for all your dental needs, from routine check-ups to specialized TMJ treatments. Our expert team ensures top-quality care in a comfortable environment.
The TMJ/TMD Treatment
Since TMJ disorder is a complex medical condition, only experienced TMJ disorder specialists and those specialized in Neuromuscular Dentistry can diagnose and treat it. At Dr. Paul’s TMJ Dental Clinic, our TMJ specialist dentists in Dubai possess the necessary experience, talent, know-how and equipment to diagnose and provide the optimal treatment for TMD.
Some of our advanced diagnostic methods are:
- Electromyographic Analysis: For monitoring facial muscle activity
- Jaw Vibration Analysis: A non-invasive way of checking the TMJ function
- Jaw Motion Tracking System: To detect jaw movement restriction
After diagnosis, we suggest a holistic treatment plan that covers areas such as anti-inflammation, joint mobility restoration, and rehabilitation. Our treatment is basically non-surgical and begins with orthotics, where we design an orthosis or splint based on the bite analysis of the patient. It is normally prescribed as a 24-hr wear for a few months until the jaws are restored to their actual neuromuscular position using Deprogramming Splints or Gnathological Splints.
