Frequently asked questions
TMJ Treatment Q&A
Do TMJ symptoms go away on their own?
Some mild cases of Temporomandibular joint dysfunction may improve with self care and avoiding habits like gum chewing or nail biting, but most TMJ disorders benefit from professional TMJ treatment to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore healthy jaw function. Untreated TMJ symptoms can lead to jaw pain, muscle tension, jaw clicking, facial pain, and ongoing pain in the temporomandibular joint and jaw muscles.
Do I need a referral to see a TMJ specialist in Clemmons?
No, you can schedule directly with our office for an accurate diagnosis and personalized TMJ treatment plan. Our healthcare provider evaluates temporomandibular joint disorders, jaw movement, jaw function, bite alignment, and other symptoms like ear pain, muscle spasms, and orofacial pain to determine the best treatment approach.
How long does TMJ treatment take?
Many patients notice pain relief and improved jaw function within a few weeks, though full correction of temporomandibular joint dysfunction may take several months depending on severity. TMJ treatment may include oral appliances, physical therapy, relaxation techniques, soft foods, gentle stretching, or other treatments to ease symptoms and strengthen jaw muscles during the healing process.
Can my bite cause TMJ problems?
Yes. Uneven bites, worn teeth, teeth clenching, or missing teeth can place stress on the temporomandibular joint TMJ and surrounding jaw muscles, leading to TMJ symptoms such as jaw pain, jaw clicking, facial pain, and limited mouth opening. Treatments like occlusal splints, occlusal adjustments, and oral appliances can help reduce stress on the jaw joint and improve jaw movement.
