There are a number of non-invasive methods of reducing orofacial pain and chronic tension associated with TMD. By far the most proven and effective is the use of an oral appliance to therapeutically adjust and support the jaw’s natural alignment. Our exceptional dental staff can create a comfortable orthotic device that is designed especially for you and your body, providing unsurpassed comfort and convenience. Other non-invasive treatments include physical therapy exercises and stretches to release tension and build strength and mobility, as well as electrical nerve stimulation, ultrasound therapy, and heat or ice to relieve pain. Some patients may combine physical therapy and dental appliance therapy to optimize the effects of both treatment strategies and improve their mobility while reducing pain. Some patients have also explored alternative medicine therapies including biofeedback and acupuncture to address their TMD.
