There are many causes of TMD, only some of which are dentally related. Other causes include injury from sports accidents and cervical spine alignment issues, often better treated with chiropractic or physical therapy.
Dental causes can often be helped with splint therapy (a mouth guard type device that must be carefully adjusted for your bite) or adjustment of the bite itself. Severe cases may involve surgery of the joint.
Diagnosis by your Dentist is most important.
