FAQ

Dental FAQs: Our FAQ section answers your questions about Orthodontics and TMJ Treatment

Orthodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of malocclusion, which is any misalignment or improper fit of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontists use braces, aligners, and other appliances to straighten teeth, correct bite problems, and improve the overall appearance and function of your smile.

TADs stand for "Temporary Anchorage Devices." They are small, titanium screws that are surgically implanted into the jawbone to provide extra anchorage for orthodontic treatment. TADs are used in cases where traditional braces or aligners alone cannot provide sufficient force to move teeth into the desired position. They can help to:

  • Control tooth movement: TADs act as anchors, providing a stable point to apply forces for more efficient tooth movement.
  • Reduce treatment time: By providing extra support, TADs can sometimes help to shorten the overall treatment time.
  • Improve treatment outcomes: TADs can help to achieve more precise tooth movements and better overall results.

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders occur when this joint is affected by pain, inflammation, or dysfunction. TMJ treatment in dentistry focuses on relieving pain, improving jaw function, and preventing further damage. Treatment approaches vary depending on the severity and cause of the disorder and may include:

  • Conservative measures: These include lifestyle modifications, over-the-counter pain relievers, bite guards, and physical therapy.
  • Medications: Anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or pain relievers may be prescribed.
  • Injections: Corticosteroid injections can help to reduce inflammation and pain.
  • Surgery: In severe cases, surgery may be necessary to correct jaw misalignment or repair damaged joint structures.

The duration of TMJ treatment varies depending on the severity of the disorder and the chosen treatment approach. Conservative measures may provide relief within a few weeks, while more complex treatments may take several months or longer.
