Understanding TMJ Treatment
TMJ treatment addresses disorders of the temporomandibular joint, which connects the jawbone to the skull. These disorders can cause pain in the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, affecting one’s ability to speak, eat, and even sleep comfortably. TMJ treatment aims to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and restore proper function to the jaw joint.
