Overview
What is TMJ Disorder Treatment?
Temporomandibular joint disorders affect the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull, producing pain, clicking, locking, headaches and worn teeth. At Livist Medical, specialists begin with a precise diagnosis using 3D imaging and bite analysis, then build a stepped plan: custom night splints, physiotherapy and Botox to relax overactive muscles, joint injections to reduce inflammation, and arthroscopic surgery only for the small number of cases that need it. Most patients improve significantly without surgery. Care is delivered in accredited Istanbul clinics by maxillofacial and dental specialists, with a focus on lasting relief rather than masking symptoms.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you want to know about TMJ Disorder Treatment
Talk to a CoordinatorRarely. The vast majority of patients improve with splints, physiotherapy, Botox or joint injections; surgery is reserved for a small number of complex cases.
Many patients feel relief within a few weeks of starting splint therapy, with continued improvement over two to three months.
Yes. Tension in the jaw muscles is a common cause of temple headaches and ear-area pain, which often ease once the joint is treated.
Most treatment is outpatient; we suggest a few days for diagnosis, splint fitting and any injections.
For grinding and muscle-driven pain, targeted Botox relaxes the overactive muscles and can significantly reduce symptoms.
