Yes but it may require a change in lifestyle. Most people experience "TMJ" from release of life stresses through their teeth ans jaws. Occasionally the source is dental malocclusion.
Wearing a simple protective guard eliminates one's ability to hyper stress the joints through reduced muscle stress. This is a common treatment for "TMJ".
A cure indicates elimination of the disease or destructive action. This is much more difficult. Eliminating stress from one's life is probably the only route to this end.
Meditation, muscle relaxants, moderate exercise, job change, hobbies can all be routes to stress release

It depends upon the reason you have TMJ. You have to see the right dentist and have a diagnosis of TMJ because of the following factors. If they can correct those factors then the answer is yes.
