Has anyone have TMJ disorder and how have you treated it?

I have TMJ disorder and I am thinking about doing neuromuscular dentistry for it. Wondering if anyone has ever tried this and how it worked if you have? If not, what other methods has anyone tried to relieve the pain?

I have had TMJ basically my whole life. The past few years, I saw a specialist because it was interfering with my life. He gave me a splint which I wore all the time at first then gradually worked to only wearing it at night. He also filed some of my teeth, and filled in some others, to make my jaws fit together better. When the pain was bothering me, I would go to physical therapy including hot, cold, and ultrasound technology. Also, I had to give up chewing gum, although other chewy things are alright. All in all, my jaw is better, but in fixing the TMJ, the specialist destroyed my bite. It was very good before the treatment, and now I can hardly get my teeth to fit together.

try physical therapy. PTs can do many things (non-surgical) for TMJ.

yes i hav tmj, and i hav to wear a mouth piece until my jaw is even, then i get braces

I found by stopping chewing gum or minimalizing chewing that has reduced a lot of pain for me. But if this is your last case scenario I say go for it.

my mom has it and she said that after she stoped chewing gum and got this brace thing from the dentist if felt way better

my dentist uses botox to treat tmj headaches, it is amazing how this works
