What to Expect: Your TMJ Orthotic Process
Initial Consultation
Your journey starts with a comprehensive consultation. Dr. Weitz will take the time to understand your dental history and symptoms while examining your general wellness. This thorough assessment detects what’s causing your dental issues and determines if an occlusal orthotic device is the right solution.
Diagnostic Phase
During this step, Dr. Weitz will conduct a series of diagnostic evaluations. These may include X-rays, a bite analysis, and jaw movement assessments.
Custom Orthotic Design
Based on the diagnostic findings, Dr. Weitz will design a custom orthotic device—also known as a MAGO. Our MAGO devices are custom-fitted to your mouth to maximize comfort and efficiency.
Fitting and Adjustments
Once your TMJ orthotic is ready, you’ll return to Pearly Whites Dental Care for the fitting. Dr. Weitz will place the device and make adjustments to guarantee a perfect fit. She will also provide detailed instructions on how to wear and care for your occlusal orthotic device.
Follow-Up Appointments
Regular follow-up appointments are important to monitor your progress and make adjustments. Dr. Weitz will assess how your body responds to the therapy and fine-tune the dental orthotic as required.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I clean and maintain my dental orthotic?
+Proper cleaning and maintenance of your TMJ orthotic or occlusal orthotic device keeps it hygienic and increases its effectiveness. Patients should:
- Rinse your dental orthotic with lukewarm water daily and brush it with a soft toothbrush and non-abrasive toothpaste or mild soap.
- Soak your orthotic in a denture or retainer cleaning solution once a week to eliminate bacteria and stains.
- Store your dental orthotic in a protective case with ventilation to keep it dry and prevent bacterial growth. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or heat.
Will wearing a TMJ orthotic affect my sleep?
+Some patients initially experience an adjustment period as they get used to their occlusal orthotic device. However, most patients find that this discomfort is temporary. Over time, Pearly Whites Dental Care’s MAGO devices can help reduce symptoms that may interfere with restful sleep.
What lifestyle changes might help improve the effectiveness of orthotic therapy?
+Several lifestyle changes can enhance the effects of orthotic therapy. Good stress management skills, softer foods, better posture, regular exercise, and avoiding chewing gum can improve your treatment outcome.
