Treatments
People
with temporomandibular
joint disorders (TMD)
often have a clicking
or popping sound when
opening and closing
their mouths. Such disorders
are often accompanied
by frequent headaches,
neck aches, and in some
cases, tooth sensitivity.
Some treatments for TMD include muscle relaxants, aspirin, biofeedback, or wearing a small plastic appliance in the mouth during sleep.
Minor cases of TMD involve discomfort or pain in the jaw muscles. More serious conditions involve improperly aligned joints or dislocated jaws. The most extreme form of TMD involves an arthritic condition of the jaw joint.
