Uijeongbu TMJ Treatment, Non-Surgical Approaches First
If you are looking into TMJ treatment in Uijeongbu, jaw pain, a sound when you open your mouth, and limited opening are known to be typical symptoms of temporomandibular disorder (TMD). Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital is at 181 Hoeryong-ro, Uijeongbu-si, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, and after assessing the condition with T-scan occlusal analysis and 3D CT we consider non-surgical approaches first.
TMJ treatment in Uijeongbu — what should you check?
It is known that temporomandibular disorder often improves with conservative treatment alone — an occlusal stabilization splint, physiotherapy, or medication — so Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital considers non-surgical approaches first. Headache, ear pain, and neck stiffness are also reported to occur alongside, and we quantify occlusal balance with T-scan and check the state of the joint with 3D CT.
It is reported that the approach differs by cause: a splint for symptoms arising from disc displacement or from grinding and clenching, and botulinum toxin where the pain comes from muscle tension. Rather than one being better than the other, what matters is a choice matched to the cause, so we identify the cause through diagnosis before explaining the options.
We are a 10-minute walk from Exit 2 of Hoeryong Station in Uijeongbu, and with night hours until 20:00 on Mondays and Thursdays and weekend hours on Saturdays and Sundays, you can be seen after weekday work or at the weekend. We also advise on habits such as grinding, resting the chin on the hand, and chewing on one side, to help lower the risk of symptoms returning.

Frequently asked questions
- Q. My jaw only makes a sound — do I need treatment?
- Where there is only a sound and no pain or limited opening, the condition is sometimes simply monitored, but as symptoms may progress it is recommended that you have it examined. At Dr.Beauty Dental Hospital, a 10-minute walk from Hoeryong Station, we check the current state with T-scan occlusal analysis and, where needed, explain non-surgical options such as an occlusal stabilization splint and physiotherapy step by step.
- Q. What is the difference between a splint and botulinum toxin in TMJ treatment?
- A splint (occlusal stabilization appliance) stabilizes how the teeth meet and is considered first for TMJ symptoms arising from disc displacement or grinding, while botulinum toxin is reported to be used to reduce the force of over-tense chewing muscles and ease pain caused by muscle tension. Rather than one being better than the other, a choice matched to the cause matters, so we explain the options after identifying the cause through diagnosis.
- Q. Is TMJ treatment covered by National Health Insurance?
- TMJ diagnosis (CBCT and clinical examination) and parts of physiotherapy and medication are known to be covered by National Health Insurance, while an occlusal stabilization splint is carried out as a non-covered item. Some treatments such as botulinum toxin are also non-covered. Reference amounts for each item can be checked in the non-covered fee schedule, and the exact cost is explained according to the diagnostic findings.
