TMJ Treatment Toronto
TMJ Treatment Toronto Dentists Can Provide
A TMJ Splint is the device used in TMJ Toronto treatment by Dr. Goodfellow to correct the root cause of of the problem patients with this disorder have. This is also known as a TMJ appliance or mouth guard and it works to provide relief of pain for patients in a similar fashion to how an orthotic placed in a shoe helps people with pain caused by their spine but is felt in any of a number of places throughout the body.
Once a dentist who practices neuromuscular dentistry uses all his special equipment to assess and diagnose a patient’s specific and unique case of TMJ problems he will craft a unique splint specifically for his patient. Wearing this appliance will cause the patient to bite in the position that is best for the patient. Having the correct bite means the patients’ jaw joint functions in the correct position as well.

How TMJ Treatment By Toronto Dentists Works
By wearing this custom, properly fitted splint the stress on the muscles, ligaments and nerves relating to the tempormandibular joint is relieved. And this will reduce the inflammation of these tissues and thereby reduce the pain and even help the jaw to heal properly.
Even though it is possible for a TMJ dentist Toronto has to spend thousands of hours learning the complexities of assessing, diagnosing and treating patients with this dysfunction, the process a patient goes through to receive a splint is very simple, easy and completely painless for the patient.
Depending on the precise cause or causes of pain, a day-time or night-time appliance will be custom-made for a patient. Sometimes both versions are required. The length of time a patient needs to wear the splint is different for every individual depending on their age and the severity of their damage. However, as a general guideline, the total lenght of time for a TMJ treatment Toronto dentists provide is often between 3 and 4 weeks and 8 to 12 weeks. During this period of time a few visits are made to the dentist so he can make the necessary adjustments to the splint as treatment continues to progress.
The goal for the patient is to get to a state of health where the patient does not to have to wear the splint at all.
