Occlusal Splints
Occlusal splints are widely used to treat TMJ because they are easy to use and comfortable to wear. Using digital impressions of your bite, we will craft a customized splint to move your jaw into the proper position, alleviating any strain or tension. With continued use, you will notice significant improvement over time.
Equilibration/ Occlusal Adjustment
A more balanced and pain-free bite is what you can expect if Dr. Dhaliwal recommends equilibration/occlusal adjustment. We’ll identify teeth and/or restorations that are placing excessive pressure in specific areas and alter them to create a comfortable, even bite. Your teeth will come together properly so that you no longer experience jaw pain and soreness.
BOTOX® Injections
BOTOX injections offer temporary relief from chronic jaw pain, allowing you to enjoy greater movement when talking, eating, and smiling. Dr. Dhaliwal will administer the injections and ensure the solution targets and relaxes the muscles surrounding your jaw joints. This treatment option is often used alongside other TMJ services to achieve optimal results.
