TMJ Surgery Alternatives
To be perfectly blunt, nearly anything is preferable for your TMJ pain than surgery. As I have written before and will write again, most reputable and reliable research organizations recommend surgery only as a last resort. According to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR):
“Avoid treatments resulting in permanent changes in the bite or jaw, including crown and bridgework to balance the bite, orthodontics to change the bite, grinding down teeth to bring the bite into balance, and repositioning splints. Avoid surgery, where possible, and if considering surgery, get medical opinions to fully understand the potential risks.”
And the NIH or the “National Institute of Health” in the United States writes:
“Conservative and reversible treatments for TMJ should always precede permanent changes to a patient’s teeth or surgery.”
