Temporomandibular Joint Treatment (TMJ Treatment)

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is an important structure located between the jawbone and skull bone that controls jaw movements. Problems that occur in this joint can lead to problems such as restricted jaw movements, pain, headaches, and even jaw locking. As Dehadent Genius Clinic, we provide our patients with comfortable and healthy jaw function by offering advanced diagnosis and treatment methods for jaw joint disorders.

Jaw Joint Disorders;

Problems seen in the jaw joint are generally called TMJ disease. TMJ disease manifests itself with complaints such as pain associated with the jaw joint, difficulty in jaw movements, and noise in the jaw joint. Here are some common symptoms of jaw joint disorders:

 

1. Pain or difficulty when moving the jaw
2. Noise from the jaw joint (hissing, cracking, squeaking)
3. Swelling or tenderness in the jaw area
4. Difficulty opening the mouth or jaw locking
5. Headaches and neck pain
6. Muscle tension in the face or around the jaw

Jaw Joint Treatment Methods;

As Dehadent Genius Clinic, we offer personalized solutions for jaw joint treatment. Before starting the treatment process, a detailed evaluation is made with the condition of the jaw joint, the patient's complaints and a clinical examination. Our treatment methods are as follows:

 

1. Preventive and Supportive Treatment: In the early stages, a dental plate (splint) can be used to reduce excessive pressure on the jaw joint. This apparatus provides relaxation of the jaw joint and helps prevent disorders such as teeth grinding (bruxism).
2. Physical Therapy and Exercises: Special exercises and physical therapy techniques can be applied to relax the muscles around the jaw joint and increase joint mobility.
3. Drug Therapy: In cases of pain and inflammation, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and muscle relaxants can be used. In addition, local injections can be made to reduce muscle tension in the jaw joint.
4. Surgery: When jaw joint problems reach a more advanced level, surgical intervention may be required. These interventions are performed to correct structural disorders in the joint and are generally rare.
5. Psychological Support: Jaw joint problems can also be caused by emotional factors such as stress or anxiety. In this case, psychological support and stress management techniques can be included in the treatment process.
