Not so: The purpose of an occlusal orthotic is to disrupt the feedback mechanism inducing the spasm and allowing the muscle to relax.

Not true...: Just like any other muscles in the body, the muscles of the TMJ can go into spasm, and can be controlled or quieted. If diagnosed properly, treated early and properly, muscle spasm related to the TMJ can be reversed. However, disc dislocation and tearing of the tendons and ligaments cannot be reversed...

No: Absolutely not!! Muscle spasm is a very treatable component of TMD.
