An oral appliance, sometimes called a bite guard is the most widely used treatment for TMJ. Studies of effectiveness in providing pain relief however, have been inconclusive. If recommended, it should be used only for a short time and should not cause permanent changes in the bite. Of course, if pain increases, stop use and consult Dr.Thomas K Paulose.
