  • Locking of the jaw
  • Facial pain
  • Headaches or earaches

Treatment Options

  • Splints and Night Guards: Custom-made appliances to reduce strain on the jaw.
  • Physical Therapy: Exercises and techniques to strengthen jaw muscles.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants, and pain relievers.
  • Injections: Corticosteroids or Botox to reduce muscle tension.
  • Surgical Options: Arthrocentesis, TMJ arthroscopy, or open-joint surgery in severe cases.

Types of Splints

  • Stabilization Splints: Designed to reduce teeth grinding and relieve jaw pressure.
