At Active Dental we treat TMJ Syndrome with Orthotic Therapy.
This has a clear 4 step process that is easily administered by us to remove your symptoms forever.
- Bite Assessment
- Discovering your ideal bite
- Recording your ideal bite
- Achieving your ideal bite with Orthotic Therapy
Orthotic Therapy requires you to wear an unobtrusive oral splint day and night. It is shaped to look like your natural teeth. When in place, it achieves your ideal bite. An Orthotic will halt any further wear of your teeth. It will prevent progression of other bite-related concerns and over time it will minimize TMJ symptoms.
Some people find that their symptoms resolve instantly and others find it may take months before their symptoms resolve. Every person responds differently to Orthotic Therapy, however the vast majority will experience an improvement in their TMJ symptoms. To complete the treatment long term, a full orthodontic treatment such as Invisalign invisible braces can be used to permanently correct your bite.
