Bruxism (teeth grinding) and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders are common but lesser-known dental disorders. If left untreated, Bruxism and TMJ disorders can lead to problems such as joint dysfunction, tooth pain, and periodontal disease. Here at Make Dental Dental Hospital we have a specialist who specifically only deals with these disorders.
Are you concerned that you may be suffering from Bruxism or TMJ disorder? This simple self-diagnosis guide can be followed in order to determine the likelihood of you having either Bruxism and TMJ.
Bruxism
TMJ Disorder
Bruxism, also known as teeth grinding, can be caused by habits like repeatedly clenching your teeth, both while sleeping and during the day. Sleep-related bruxism, in particular, can be difficult to recognize and can lead to an inability to control the force of the bite, putting significant strain on the teeth, gums, and joints.
TMJ disorder refers to a structural or functional disorder of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Inflammation or dislocation of the joint can cause pain and difficulty opening the mouth. Initially, the only symptom is a clicking sound when opening or closing the mouth. However, as the disc gradually deforms, it can lead to difficulty opening the mouth and pain.
Make Dental Dental Hospital treats bruxism and TMJ disorders according to the type of joint disorders and degree of symptoms. Treatments include medication, Botox, splint, and teeth malocclusion treatment.
TREATMENT 1
Combined with physical therapy and medication, it is administered to patients with early myofascial pain or who simply want to get rid of symptoms.
TREATMENT 2
The treatment has an immediate effect, weakening muscle strength and reducing muscle thickness, reducing the side effects of bruxism. If necessary, 3-4 more injections may be needed.
TREATMENT 3
Splints stabilize muscles and double the effectiveness of Botox. If bruxism continues after the treatment, splints will relieve tooth damage caused by bruxism. Splints also promote the recovery of altered tissue by reducing pressure on the TMJ and discs.
Make Dental Dental Hospital will conduct a pre-examination to create a suitable treatment plan for you. Regular checkups are essential for TMJ treatments because precise adjustments by the medical staff are required to accomplish the main purpose of treatment.
