TMJ Pain Treatment – TMD and TMJ Cure For Bad Bite

Have you been experiencing pain behind the eyes? Do you have pricking pain on your cheekbone, temple and cheeks? Popping jaw joints? Clicking jaw joints? You must be suffering from a dental condition called Temporal Mandibular Dysfunction or TMD. You must have been experiencing Temporal Mandibular Joint pain or TMJ pain.

TMJ pain is caused by the misalignment of jaw joints, muscles and teeth. This misalignment causes pressure on the TMJ nerve channeled through the jaw joint thus causing pain and other problems. The condition is commonly called a bad bite. TMJ pain or TMD itself is not fatal but could lead to more serious problems if left untreated.
What are the causes of TMJ pain? One of the major causes of TMD and therefore TMJ pain is the extraction of a tooth which could cause a misalignment in a person’s bite. This is true especially if the extracted tooth is not replaced with an artificial one. In my case this is the main cause of my TMJ pain. However, stress both physical and mental, arthritis, previous injury and old age can all be causes of TMD and TMJ pain.

What are the symptoms of TMJ pain?

What are the available TMJ treatments? The initial short term treatment for TMJ pain is by taking pain relievers. Mefenamic acid and Ibuprofen works for me and as recommended by my dentist. Long term treatment is by having a customized bite splint or occlusal splint. Splints are usually made of a semi plastic material that you will bite for 6 months, 24 hours a day. The bite splint or the occlusal splint will realign your jaw to ease the pain on the nerve joints that causes pain. Afterward you have the option to have teeth braces to once again realign the teeth to proper positions or you can simply opt to wear the bite splint or the occlusal splint for a lifetime.

Where can I get TMJ treatment to ease my TNJ pain? Clinica Orthodontica is the clinic where I had my condition checked. This is one of the best TMJ Pain Philippines clinic out there. They have complete facilities in Philcoa Citimall Building and Katipunan near Shell gas Station before Ateneo De Manila.

Getting TMJ pain treatment is not cheap. The initial offer is a P50,000 package for the bite splint only. But you can request for an installment from Dr. Ang. This is the cheapest offer I found for a TMJ treatment Philippines. You can call the clinic 9248699 or 4267482.
