Does using nightguard cure TMJ disorder?

Does wearing a nightguard/mouthguard help to reduce TMJ disorder and Jaw popping, Jaw Deviation? Most doctors suggest braces treatment for TMJ disorder but if I don't want to go for that, are there other non-invasive treatments? I already follow soft diet and apply warm compress. Kindly suggest some remedies.

Removing impacted wisdom teeth- TMJ

Hi. I am suffering from TMJ disorder which is causing jaw popping and deviation. It has also caused slight ringing  in ear. I have attached a picture of my OPG Xray of my teeth. I have wisdom teeth on both sides. Kindly suggest, will removal of the wisdom teeth reduce pressure on the jaw joint and prevent the TMJ disorder from becoming worse? Will I get relief after wisdom teeth removal? What else needs to be done apart from wisdom teeth removal?

Post Root Canal treatment problems

RCT done on last upper molar from last week of June till July. Got crown, after it was placed there was ton of pain when pressure applied/bite, removed crown.  Pain started to subside after considerable amount of time passed. I kept on having dental visits. Dentist asked me to wait. It's been 5 months. I don't have crown since long - only permanent filling. Issues now - 1 The tooth beside the one on which RCT is done, deviated from it's place since RCT, slightly down. Now it touches the bottom one when I rest my teeth and it feels uncomfortable and bulky, like an obstacle in resting teeth (sensitive). Sometimes it feels bulky while walking (even without resting). 2 Maybe its gums around the RCT teeth but I feel discomfort there. Eating all different things very comfortably, no pain. It's just when I'm sitting idle and not using teeth. Often getting my tongue there/putting pressure on RCT teeth with finger- in an attempt to cure it. 3 Teeth itching- Feels like brushing/grinding teeth.

Effect of wisdom tooth removal on TMJ

Hi. I have TMJ Disorder which causes jaw popping when opening and closing mouth. It also causes a ringing and crackling sound in my ear along with ear pressure. I have attached my OPG Xray. I have impacted wisdom teeth on all sides and have been advised surgical extraction. But I am very scared as I already have TMJ Disorder and the surgical extraction will require prolonged mouth opening during the course of the extraction. I am scared that the prolonged mouth opening will worsen the TMJ problem. Kindly tell me will the prolonged mouth opening worsen my TMJ condition? Will I find some relief in the TMJ after wisdom tooth removal? Will it reduce pressure on the jaw joint? I have been told it will reduce pain in the TMJ, but what about the jaw popping and crackling and ear problems? Will removing wisdom teeth help in that and prevent it from becoming worse? Kindly help out.

How wisdom teeth extraction wil help TMJ

I have TMJ Disorder due to which I have jaw popping/clicking while opening and closing mouth. Not pain but the popping is there. As a result of TMJ I also have ringing and crackling in ear and ear pressure. I have attached my OPG Xray. I have impacted wisdom teeth on all sides. I want to know that if I go for extraction of the impacted wisdom teeth, how will it help my TMJ? Will it reduce any pressure on the jaw joint and will it prevent my jaw popping or ear problems from becoming worse? I know it can reduce pain from TMJ but apart from reducing pain, will removing wisdom teeth be of any help for TMJ Disorder? Will it prevent my symptopms from becoming any worse?
