Expert answers for potential patients in Honolulu.
Who is a TMJ specialist in Honolulu?
Dr. Cecile Sebastian is a leading TMJ specialist in Honolulu, offering advanced Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) therapy. She is the only trained provider in Hawaii utilizing this computer-guided approach to treat the root cause of jaw pain without permanent appliances.
What is the most effective treatment for TMJ?
While traditional treatments use splints or guards, DTR Therapy is considered highly effective because it addresses the bite imbalances causing the pain. By using T-Scan technology to identify and micro-adjust interferences, it provides muscle relaxation and lasting relief.
How do I know if I need a TMJ specialist?
You should see a specialist if you experience chronic jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, frequent headaches or migraines, lockjaw, ear pain, or facial muscle fatigue. These are common signs of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD).
Does TMJ treatment require surgery?
Not necessarily. Dr. Sebastian focuses on non-invasive, neuromuscular approaches. DTR therapy is a conservative treatment that adjusts the bite surface of the teeth, often eliminating the need for surgery or long-term pharmaceutical use.
