How Are Jaw Joint Disorders Treated?
Conservative (protective) and non-surgical treatment methods should be applied initially in jaw joint disorders. Medication can also be helpful in the treatment of jaw joint disorders. These methods are effective 80% of the time. Surgical treatment options should be considered as last option in jaw joint disorders.
Correct diagnosis is of great importance in order to achieve success in the treatment of jaw joint disorders. In line with the diagnosis made, most of the problems can be solved with preventive treatment methods such as intraoral splint application, botox injections, drug treatments, physical therapy and washing the inside of the jaw joint (arthrocentesis)
