What kinda treatments does tmj get?!?!?
Question:
Answers:
Chill man. You don't necessarily need Wiring or Surgery, only in some cases. Just relax and try to read some text on that link i gave you in your other question (www.tmj.org). As every situation is different, you just have to visit either your doctor of your dentist and ask what they think is best for you. Then they will probably send you to the hospital, eventually there some pictures will be made and than the specialist will tell you what he thinks is best for you. Take care (and relax)!
Other Answers:
You can get your dentist to fit you with gum shields that you wear at night. They will stop you from grinding your teeth snd should relieve your tmj.
go to a physiotherapist.
Don't be frightened. Wiring and surgery are options to consider when other treatments are unsuccessful. Many people find the problem can be resolved by just wearing a biteguard appliance.
If wiring or surgery are eventually needed, it is almost always done in such a way that the scar will not be visible except to your dentist, or anyone else looking closely in your mouth.
I'm just agreeing with Magius Paulus and kittybriton.
If you've had the popping for over 6 months, it may not be possible to get it to go away completely, but conservative treatment may be able to eliminate any pain that you experience. (Although you didn't mention pain, so hopefully, there is none.) By "conservative," I mean simple bite adjustment, an appliance (like a night guard or other), medication, physical therapy, or some combination of all four.
