Treatment for TMD and Bruxism
The dentists at MDC understand that temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can have a significant impact on your comfort and day-to-day life. We offer a range of treatment options tailored to your individual needs, including custom oral appliances and anti-wrinkle / muscle relaxant injections. Your specific symptoms and circumstances will help guide the treatment approach recommended for you.
Custom oral appliances are often used as part of TMD management. These specially designed mouthguards are typically worn at night and may help reduce strain on the temporomandibular joint. Our dentists will take precise measurements to create an appliance designed to fit comfortably and support your individual treatment needs.
How Anti-Wrinkle / Muscle Relaxant Injectables May Help TMD
For some patients, anti-wrinkle / muscle relaxant injections in Tamborine Mountain may provide additional support in managing TMD symptoms. While commonly associated with cosmetic treatments, these injections may also be used to target specific jaw muscles that contribute to tension, pain and discomfort.
We will carefully assess your condition to determine whether anti-wrinkle / muscle relaxant injectables may be appropriate for you. Treatment is generally quick, and the effects can vary from person to person.
It’s important to note that TMD treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Our dentists may recommend a combination of treatments, including oral appliances, anti-wrinkle / muscle relaxant injectables and other therapies such as physiotherapy or lifestyle modifications.
At Mountain Dental Care, we’re committed to helping you manage TMD symptoms and improve your comfort. If you’re experiencing jaw pain or other TMD symptoms, we encourage you to book a consultation with one of our dentists to discuss your treatment options.
