Key TMJ Treatments
Dr. Haron offers different types of treatment to relieve facial pain and migraines, from TMJ surgery to at-home therapies.
Open-Joint Surgery (TMJ Surgery)
During open-joint surgery, Dr. Haron makes an incision to expose the joint. This will allow him to repair the jaw, reposition it, or remove parts of it, if necessary. To keep you comfortable and relaxed during your TMJ surgery, he may use nitrous oxide and/or IV sedation.
Arthrocentesis
Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive type of TMJ surgery that can alleviate symptoms such as pain and stiffness. With TMJ arthrocentesis, Dr. Haron uses one needle to introduce a cleaning fluid into the joint and another needle to withdraw the fluid.
BOTOX®
The aesthetic benefits of BOTOX have been harnessed for many years to reduce facial wrinkles and produce a more youthful facial appearance. BOTOX has been found to be equally effective in relaxing tense muscles around the TMJ, which are often the cause of TMJ pain. Dr. Haron can minimize your discomfort by introducing BOTOX into those muscles.
Oral Appliances
Proper tooth alignment can help you prevent TMJ issues. If your bite is already misaligned, Dr. Haron can provide at-home appliances like a nightguard or mouthguard to move your teeth into their correct position and relieve any associated muscle strain in your face.
