TMJ Treatment Options
To determine how best to treat TMJ, Dr. Gestosani or Dr. Tiemstra will need to conduct a thorough evaluation of your head and face using advanced dental technologies. This will allow us to see a clearer view of your jaw joints and determine the most effective way to treat your problem.
Occlusal Splints
Customized based on your unique needs, an occlusal splint not only addresses teeth grinding and clenching but also encourages your jaw to rest in a more comfortable position. Over time, it will become more familiar with this new location, alleviating any additional stress and tension on your jaw joints.
BOTOX Treatment
Oftentimes, in combination with an occlusal splint, our team can administer Botox as a supplemental form of TMJ treatment. Dr. Tiemstra and Dr. Gestosani are both certified through the AAFE to provide Botox for TMD. This injectable solution temporarily freezes the muscle surrounding the joint, alleviating pain and soreness.
