TMJ Assessment
As stated above, the best way to treat temporomandibular disorders is by conducting a thorough examination, looking at dental occlusion. The most important things to evaluate include how the dentition maintains the correct support of the jaw, the facial muscles found on the face and the TM joint itself.
By taking note of trigger points, and listening carefully with a stethoscope to determine the status of the joints and evidence of disk derangement or wear and tear.
