Why You Might Need a TMJ Splint
Ask which joint is used most in the body, and most people think of the arms or legs — but it's actually the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Used essentially around the clock for speaking, eating, breathing, and more, the TMJ is one of the most important joints in the body. TMJ imbalance can result from a discrepancy of as little as 5mm. Restoring a misaligned TMJ to normal requires a custom-fitted TMJ splint to bring the joint into an optimal resting state. Once this is achieved, the TMJ can naturally find its own balanced position.
