Effective Diagnosis and Treatment for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders

Diagnosis of TMJ disorders relies on a thorough history and specific tests such as range of motion, muscle, and joint examinations, alongside baseline X-rays. A comprehensive treatment plan should focus on evidence-based interventions, with the majority of TMJ pain resolving naturally. Treatments should be conservative, reversible, and supported by scientific evidence rather than anecdotal claims. For more information on TMD and evidence-based practices, refer to the American Academy of Orofacial Pain’s resources.
