TMD and the Urbanek Splint!
What is the difference between TMJ and TMD? TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint whereas TMD stands for temporomandibular joint disorder. One simply refers to the joint itself while the other refers to disorders characterized by inflammation or misalignment of the TMJ. Numerous patients suffer from TMD and its related symptoms. These symptoms include:
- Headaches
- Earaches
- Neck pain
- Jaw pain
- Shoulder/arm pain
- Tinnitus
- Hearing loss
- Vertigo
- Jaw locking
We live in stressful times and for the vast majority of TMD patients, symptoms are due to clenching and grinding of their teeth.
