It is estimated that TMJ disorders affect over 10 million people, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research. While TMJ disorders can occur at any age, most commonly at the ages of 20 to 40.
Treatment for TMJ Pain
Treatment usually involves dietary modifications and dental appliances. In more severe cases, interventions such as botox to the muscles involved in chewing are necessary to relax the strain on the joint. In the most severe cases, surgical intervention may be required through a specialized oral surgeon.
