Tmj problem
Hi, how can the arthritis on one side & disc displacement on one side of TM joint can be treated, there is no pain but airway is getting smaller , thorat is tighter & difficulty swallowing , ear is getting pulled on disc displacement side. Also undergoing braces treatment , but has bounded only upper braces since the current dentist has been only asking to wait & problem is getting worst than before. Will orthotics or splint help ? What would be the cost of treatment? Thanks.

Tempero Mandibular Disorders cause these symptoms mentioned above. So it needs a thorough clinic evaluation by an Orthodontist and an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon before deciding on splints.
