Treating temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) involves various strategies tailored to its severity and underlying causes. Self-care practices such as applying heat or ice packs, consuming soft foods, and employing stress-management techniques can offer relief. Additionally, oral appliances like custom mouthguards are utilised to protect teeth from night time clenching/grinding and/or reposition the jaw. Physical therapy, encompassing jaw exercises and stretches, aims at alleviating pain and enhancing joint function. Medications such as pain relievers, muscle relaxants, or anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed. In some instances, injections of muscle relaxants or corticosteroids are administered to mitigate inflammation and muscle tension. Surgery remains a last resort, primarily reserved for severe cases or structural issues within the joint.
