A member asked:
Which tmjd condition need surgery and which condition don't need surgery (splint would be enough)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ Treatments: Good day; TMJ treatment starts with least invasive treatment, muscle therapy and orthotics (splint) and medication. In most instances symptoms disappear. It is rare that a patient remains uncomfortable and requires more invasive treatment.
