Will it recur after jaw joint treatment?

If the underlying cause (stress, teeth clenching, misalignment, bad habits) isn’t addressed, it can recur. Therefore, treatment should be holistic, not just focused on the joint itself. Continuing to use a night guard, attending regular checkups, managing stress, and avoiding habits that strain the jaw muscles can all increase the longevity of the treatment. With proper treatment and regular follow-up, the risk of recurrence can be significantly reduced.
