Your TMD appliance was supposed to help. So why are you still in pain—or feeling worse?
Here’s what many patients don’t realise: managing jaw position is not the same as identifying and addressing every factor contributing to TMD.
Muscle dysfunction, joint problems and occlusal factors can all play a role. An appliance may help, but it isn’t automatically a complete solution.
The important questions are:
• Has your bite been properly assessed?
• Has your muscle function been evaluated?
• Is your treatment addressing the factors contributing to your dysfunction?
The RJ System™ looks beyond the symptoms to assess the bite, muscles and jaw mechanics.
Because the goal isn’t simply to give you an appliance. It’s to understand why the dysfunction is happening and plan treatment accordingly.
