TMJ disorders develop for many reasons. You might clench or grind your teeth, tighten your jaw muscles and stressing your TM joint. You may also have a damaged jaw joint due to injury or disease. Injuries and arthritis can damage the joint directly or stretch or tear the muscle ligaments. As a result, the disk, which is made of cartilage and functions as the cushion of the jaw joint, can slip out of position. Irrespective of the cause, the results may include a misaligned bite, pain, clicking, or grating noise when you open your mouth or trouble opening your mouth wide.
Dr. Ishita Seth in Ballantyne will evaluate and, once the diagnosis is confirmed, will determine the proper course of treatment. It is important to note that treatment always works best with a team approach.
If your TMJ disorder has caused problems with how your teeth fit together, you may need treatment such as bite adjustment (equilibration), orthodontics with or without jaw reconstruction, or restorative dental work.
