Occlusal Splints
An occlusal splint is a custom-made oral appliance that is designed to help shift your jaw into a more comfortable, natural position that relieves tension and strain from the joints. All you need to do is put it in before you go to sleep. Many patients notice their symptoms begin to wane after just a few days.
Equilibration/ Occlusal Adjustment
If your TMJ pain is caused by an improperly fitted dental restoration or misshapen tooth, we may recommend occlusal adjustment, or equilibration. This treatment rebalances the bite by gently altering the shape of a tooth to help reduce strain on one or both of your jaw joints.
Treatment with a TENS Machine
TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation) units are a popular and non-invasive way to address jaw pain caused by TMJ disorder. Dr. Mistry will place small sticky pads on overworked and stressed jaw muscles, allowing small electrical signals to be transmitted to these areas, relaxing the muscles and improving jaw function.
