TMJ Facial Pain - Hoboken Oral Surgeons

TMJD Related Pain

According to National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research the prevalence of temporomandibular joint and muscle disorder (TMJD) is estimated to be between 5% and 12%. TMJD appears more frequently in younger individuals and is twice as common in women compared to men.

TMJ disorders encompass a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint, leading to symptoms like jaw pain, difficulty chewing, and headaches. We offer specialized TMJ Facial Pain services, focusing on conservative treatments like Botox injections and custom appliance therapy.

These methods are designed to alleviate discomfort and improve jaw function with a less invasive approach, reflecting Dr. Calat’s dedication to providing effective, patient-focused care for those experiencing TMJ-related issues.

Botox

Botox treatment involves targeted injections to relax the muscles around the jaw which can significantly reduce TMJ-related pain and discomfort. This technique is helpful for patients seeking non-surgical relief from jaw tension and headaches. Dr. Calat’s approach to Botox therapy includes personalized assessments and customized treatment plans. His goal is achieving optimal outcomes while making sure that patients are comfortable and safe.

APPLIANCE THERAPY

Dr. Calat’s approach to appliance therapy for TMJ and facial pain focuses on customizing treatment to the individual’s specific anatomical needs. This personalized method aims to:

Improve jaw alignment through tailor-made devices.

Offer non-surgical management of TMJ symptoms.

Promote long-term oral health by precisely reducing mechanical stress on the jaw.

Each appliance is designed after a thorough diagnostic process, ensuring effective relief and symptom management tailored to the patient’s unique condition.
