TMJ problems can occur for a variety of reasons. At Living Water Dentistry, we provide advanced TMJ treatment in Surrey. Our experts can use a custom-fit splint to relieve stress on overworked joints, reducing the frequency and severity of symptoms including stiffness, soreness, cracking in the jaw, facial discomfort, sleeping issues, and migraines.
Although the condition is not life threatening, it can have serious consequences for your oral and general health. These joints, which are supported by a system of muscles and ligaments, allow your jaw to move. TMD can cause discomfort, ringing in the ears, and chewing issues when it is out of equilibrium. TMD side symptoms might intensify if left untreated. Effective therapy is the greatest method to avoid the uncomfortable and adverse consequences of TMD.
TMD can cause muscular tension in your face and neck, which can spread throughout your body. TMD is commonly associated with neck and shoulder stiffness. This stiffness might have an impact on your posture and flexibility.
High level of stress is one of the factor that leads to TMJ issues. When you're feeling stressed, you might clench your jaw or grind your teeth both during the day and when you're asleep. Although this habit might seem harmless, it can lead to tooth wear, cracked teeth, and temporomandibular joint disorder.
The swelling will be most noticeable on the sides of the jaw in the surgery area and will reduce dramatically in two weeks. By 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, the tissues will seem practically normal to you. The ultimate definition is achieved around four months after surgery.
