You've probably been looking for a way to heal your TMJ for some time. You may have read several articles, visited dozens web sites and even read some books. And most likely, the conclusion of all your research is:There is no real cure for TMJ.The only thing doctors can do is give out strong pain relief medicines or muscle relaxation drugs. There is nothing else they can do.All these medicines fail. Even if they reduce the pain a little for a while in the beginning, they'll stop working little by little as your body gets immune to them.
Many dentists try to help TMJ patients. They make special dental implants. These implants, at best. save your teeth from grinding down at night. But they don't take your pain away.So why has science failed you?You can't really blame them though.TMJ is one of the most complex conditions you'll ever find. Every TMJ patient has different original causes for his or her condition. And not only one cause or accident.
There are probably several contributing factors causing your pain. Both physical and emotional.Some people begin to experience TMJ after an accident of some sort. Stress is an other trigger. But most of the time, doctors have no idea what really causes their patients TMJ. This can be very depressive for people who suffer this condition.
Okay, enough of what we don't know?We know for a fact, the jaw joints are always misplaced to some degree. Tiny misplacement can be enough to cause terrible pain. Some patients think the irritation is even worse than the pain. Here are some obvious symptoms...
Jaw locking opened or closed
Uncontrollable jaw or tongue movements
Clicking, popping jaw joints
Clenching or grinding at night
Grating sounds
Inability to open the jaw smoothly or evenly
Jaw deviates to one side when opening
Inability to "find bite" with teeth
Limited opening
Frequent, migraine type headaches
Extreme pain in cheek muscles
Discomfort or pain to any of these areas
...are just few obvious symptoms. You may have some or all of them. Or non at all. Like I said, this is very complicated condition.
