Wearing a TMJ splint for the management of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders typically does not cause permanent changes to your bite. The primary purpose of a TMJ splint is to provide support and reposition the jaw to alleviate symptoms such as jaw popping, deviation, and ear-related issues. The splint is often worn for a specific duration as prescribed by an Orthodontist or Oral and maxillofacial surgeon. While wearing a splint, temporary adjustments to your bite may occur, but these are generally reversible once you stop using the splint. The goal is to provide relief from TMJ symptoms without causing long-term changes to your dental occlusion. In cases where there are no major occlusion problems to begin with, the risk of significant changes to the bite is usually low. However, it's crucial to follow the recommendations of your Orthodontist or Oral and maxillofacial surgeon and attend regular follow-up appointments. If there are any concerns about the impact of the splint on your bite, your healthcare provider can make necessary adjustments or explore alternative treatment options. In some instances, braces may be recommended as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for TMJ disorders, especially if there are underlying issues with the alignment of the teeth and jaws. Braces can help address bite discrepancies and contribute to long-term stability.
