relieve discomfort and improve jaw function.
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders affect the joints and muscles that control jaw movement. When irritated or strained, they can cause jaw pain, clicking or popping, headaches, ear discomfort, facial soreness, or difficulty opening and closing the mouth. TMJ problems are often linked to clenching, grinding, stress, injury, or bite misalignment, and untreated issues can place added strain on the teeth and muscles.
We will evaluate your jaw movement, bite alignment, and muscle function to identify the source of your discomfort. Digital imaging may be used to assess the joint and surrounding structures. Based on your needs, we create a personalized treatment plan that may include a custom nightguard or splint and guidance on exercises to relieve muscle tension.
