Would dental implants help to correct tmj?

Possible: If you are missing your back teeth, some or all of them, then it is possible for implants to help your TMJ. You also need to have a proper evaluation of your tmj to determine what is the source of your discomfort.

Apples & oranges: Correction you occlusion may help reduce TMJ symptoms. Implants of and by themselves are not going to make a difference. Sounds like you need a thorough occlusal evaluation. Orthodontic consultation may be warranted. Talk to your Dentist.

Only: Only if your bite problem is contributing and the implants help stabilize your bite.

Depends: All depends on cause of TMD. If related to edentulism and overclosure, and the implants are used to restore proper position and function of the jaws , then likely. If TMD bite related and the implants are restored to correct the bite, then likely. If TMD is physiologic and not related to bite / parafunctional habit, then not likely. See TMD Dentist for diagnosis first. Good Luck.
