Self-care

We believe it is very important for the individual to thoroughly understand their condition and to develop skills for decreasing the pain and dysfunction. These include:

• Training in diet and nutrition
• Home exercise and jaw stretching program,
• Postural training, ergonomics
• Heat and ice
• Relaxation training
• Habit reversal training

Remember your teeth should never touch unless you are swallowing or chewing.  All other times there should be space between your teeth.
