Description:	Many TMJ specialists treat TMJ with dental splints. Dr. Masaki prefers to adjust the dental bite by sculpturing the chewing surfaces of the teeth to alleviate the symptoms of TMJ. By harmonizing and synchronizing the intricate meshing of the teeth with the movements of the lower jaw, the mechanical stress is minimized on the surfaces of the teeth and the jaw joints. This allows the jaw joints and muscles to relax and undergo stress-relieving changes. Time is needed between visits (about a week) for these changes to take place. Bite adjustments take about an hour per visit. Treatment usually takes 5-6 visits, sometimes more, over approximately 2 months. Once the bite adjustments have been completed, most patients are very comfortable, if not completely pain free. In order to treat TMJ effectively, Dr. Masaki feels that the dental bite should fulfill two basic criteria: (1) The proper parts of the posterior teeth or "centric stops" should make contact so that the forces on the teeth are directed vertically. (2) The dental bite should be "dynamically balanced" so that all of the back teeth contact with equal pressure when the teeth are gently tapped together by the dentist and not by the patient.
