In most cases of TMJ disorder, it is quite challenging to determine precise TMJ causes of the disorder. Most TMJ causes may be due to sports-related injuries, genetics, arthritis, or even a minor face-first fall on the ground resulting in excruciating pain that hinders us from performing daily tasks.

    While most TMJ disorders appear transient and subside over time with self-care and natural remedies, some may require non-invasive TMJ treatment.

    Treating TMD

    As discussed earlier, most TMD symptoms will slide away with simple home care tasks when they are identified as temporary. In other cases, if the symptoms prolong and remain persistent, our TMJ specialist in Dubai chapter will advise you to consider various treatment options, as follows –

    Oral Medicines to relieve pain

    • Pain killers or anti-inflammatory pills or medicines will be prescribed for a certain period to help subside pain. 
    • Muscle relaxants help in the relaxation of congested muscles, thus helping in relieving pain or discomfort in that area.   

    In-mouth Personalized Orthotic devices

    Mouth guards and oral splints when worn in the right places help relieve pain, thereby enhancing jaw function. These appliances help in reducing the effect of teeth grinding and clenching and corrects the bite by better teeth alignment and positioning.

    FAQs 

    TMD is likelier to be prevalent among women than in men given their deteriorating bone conditions and other related physiological challenges. Also, anyone belonging to any age group is found to experience TMJ clicking and TMJ locking as symptoms.
    One of the most prominent symptoms during TMD is jaw pain. As a result, the affected individual may find it difficult or even impossible to go through daily tasks as it impedes jaw movements. This then translates to obstructions in eating habits, while also making speaking challenging.
    When TMJ symptoms do not come down after a certain period, it may deepen over a period causing irreversible damage to the bones, especially of those suffering from bone related issues. The only resort then is surgery. Our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter has the right expertise to analyze and find whether one is going through transient or permanent TMJ symptoms.
    Though it is difficult to comment whether one can completely avoid the occurrence of TMD, it is however possible to reduce the risks of TMD. This can happen through lifestyle choices, jaw postures, lessening stress on teeth and other relaxation techniques.
    While some TMJ disorders can be permanently cured when diagnosed early, others may require prolonged attention and treatment. Pain stemming from grinding of teeth or clenching is a TMJ symptom and issue which can be cured permanently. Whereas a disproportionate or dislocated jaw may require braces kind of intraoral devices to align jaws. Visit our premises, TMJ specialist Dubai chapter for comprehensive care.
