Therapies
Some therapies can be suggested for treating TMJ dysfunction. These include:
– Counseling and education: You can learn more about the behaviors and factors that would worsen your pain to take proper preventive measures. Some examples include biting fingernails, leaning on the chin, or teeth grinding and clenching.
– Physical therapy: This approach shows you some exercises to strengthen and stretch jaw muscles.
– Mouth guards or oral splints: If TMJ dysfunction causes jaw pain, you can wear these tools to get relief. [2]
