Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause persistent jaw pain, headaches, and difficulty chewing. One effective treatment method is composite build-up, a minimally invasive approach that helps balance your bite and relieve stress on the jaw joint.
What is Composite Build-Up?
Composite build-up involves adding tooth-colored resin material to worn or uneven teeth to restore proper occlusion (bite alignment). By correcting the bite, composite build-ups reduce unnecessary pressure on the jaw muscles and the TMJ, helping to alleviate discomfort.
How Composite Build-Up Helps TMJ:
Restores proper bite alignment
Reduces teeth grinding and clenching
Minimizes strain on jaw muscles
Improves chewing efficiency
Can prevent further jaw joint wear or damage
Who Can Benefit from Composite Build-Up?
Composite build-ups are ideal for patients who:
Suffer from TMJ pain due to bite misalignment
Have worn, chipped, or uneven teeth
Experience headaches or jaw tension from grinding
Prefer a non-invasive alternative to full crowns or surgery
The Procedure
Composite build-up is safe, quick, and minimally invasive:
The dentist assesses your bite and identifies teeth needing adjustment.
Tooth-colored composite resin is applied and shaped to restore proper alignment.
The material is hardened with a special light, providing immediate improvement in bite and comfort.
Advantages of Composite Build-Up for TMJ:
Preserves natural tooth structure
Immediate improvement in jaw function
Non-surgical and reversible if needed
Enhances aesthetics with natural-looking results
