TMJ/TMD Treatment
Relief for Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders
Why TMJ/TMD Treatment Matters
The temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull, allowing you to speak, chew, and move your mouth comfortably. When these joints or the surrounding muscles are strained, it can lead to TMJ disorder (TMD), resulting in pain, clicking, locking, or tension in the jaw. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen, affecting not only your mouth but also your head, neck, and posture. TMJ/TMD treatment can help with:
Jaw pain or tenderness
Teeth grinding (bruxism) and related wear
Headaches, earaches, or facial pain
Limited jaw movement or locking
What to Expect During Your Treatment
Our TMJ/TMD treatments are designed to address the root cause of your discomfort, restore normal jaw function, and improve your overall quality of life.

Based on your diagnosis, we create a custom approach that may include bite adjustments, oral appliances, or therapeutic exercises.
Oral Appliance Therapy
Custom-made night guards or splints help relax jaw muscles, protect teeth from grinding, and reduce strain on the TMJ.

We monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed, ensuring long-term comfort and jaw function.
