TMJ Treatment in West Vancouver
TMJ Treatments Near You
TMJ treatments help TMJ problems or symptoms. TMJ is the joint that connects the lower and upper jaw. The term TMJ stands for Temporo-mandibular Joint. This is one of the most complex joints in the entire body, capable of forward and backward movement, rotations, and side-to-side movements. This term often refers to complications and problems with this joint.
Some of the most common symptoms that require treatment are:
Pain
Locking of the jaw
Clicking sounds
Muscle spasms
Limited movement of the lower jaw
Some potential causes of the disease include genetics, hormones, low-level infections, auto-immune diseases, trauma, and clenching or grinding of the teeth. Diagnosis and evaluation of such conditions are performed by dentists experienced in jaw-related problems and treatments. Some common treatments are Night Guards, Bite Guards, and Bite Adjustments. Your dentist can guide you toward the best treatment for you.
