Looking for a clinic that specializes in TMJ diagnosis and treatment in Chiang Mai

[connda]

My wife has developed a case of TMJ.  Her dentist (at one of the major dental clinics in CM) has not been much help in that the only suggestion was not to open her mouth so wide when eating.  That answer didn't inspire any confidence in me.

I've looked online and can't find any doctors or clinics which specialize in TMJ in Chiang Mai outside of over-priced 'boutique clinics' which cater to medical tourism.  Any first-hand advice from someone who has been treated would be welcome.

Is the diagnosus certain and what exactly are her symptoms? As in some cases a night guard would help and that requires a different specialist than other treatments. 

 

There are no clinics just for TMJ. Depending on her symptoms might need an oral surgeon, prothodontist, ENT or neurologist. 

 

NSAIDs like ibuprofen or diclofenac are helpful for the pain if she has no contraindications.

She has pain and swelling in the temporomandibular joint and pain when she opens her mouth too far.  This surfaced after two rather lengthy dental appointments but not associated with any of the work she had done.  Right now she is taking diclofenac for 5 to 7 days for the swelling.  I suggested a night-guard (I use one myself) but she's not interested.  "You can lead a horse to water......"

I suggest going to the University of Chiang Mai dental department

Sorry for the delay, this has been a difficult search.
