The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the skull and allows movement for chewing, speaking, and yawning. When the joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it leads to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), which can cause significant discomfort and jaw dysfunction.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
TMJ pain can range from mild discomfort to severe, chronic pain, making it important to seek treatment early.
Bruxism is the habitual grinding or clenching of teeth, often occurring during sleep or times of stress. It can cause serious dental and jaw issues, including:
Many people grind their teeth unknowingly, often discovering the issue after noticing jaw pain, morning headaches, excessive tooth wear, or tooth sensitivity.
We provide customized treatments to relieve jaw pain, protect your teeth, and improve function. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatment may include:
A custom nightguard helps prevent teeth grinding and jaw clenching during sleep, reducing strain on the TMJ and preventing further damage.
Unlike over-the-counter options, a custom-fitted nightguard is designed for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Botox injections can help relax overactive jaw muscles, relieving TMJ pain, headaches, and clenching-related discomfort.
This minimally invasive treatment can be an excellent alternative for patients who have not found relief with nightguards or physical therapy.
Stress is a major contributor to bruxism and TMJ symptoms. We help patients identify triggers and recommend stress-reducing techniques such as:
If misaligned teeth or bite issues are contributing to TMJ disorder, we may recommend the following:
Comprehensive Exam - We evaluate your jaw movement, bite alignment, and symptoms to diagnose TMJ disorder or bruxism.
Digital Imaging (if needed) - X-rays or 3D imaging may be used to assess joint health and tooth wear.
Customized Treatment Plan - Based on your symptoms, we recommend personalized solutions to relieve pain and prevent further damage.
In addition to professional treatment, you can take steps to reduce discomfort at home:
If symptoms persist or worsen, professional intervention may be necessary.
If you experience jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches, or difficulty chewing, you may have TMJ disorder. A dental evaluation can determine the cause of your symptoms and the best course of treatment.
Mild cases of bruxism may improve with stress reduction and lifestyle changes, but chronic grinding can lead to tooth damage and TMJ issues. Custom nightguards and other treatments can help prevent long-term complications.
Some dental and medical insurance plans cover TMJ treatments, nightguards, and Botox therapy, depending on the severity of symptoms. We can help review your insurance benefits and discuss financing options if needed.
Relief varies depending on the treatment method. Nightguards and Botox often provide noticeable relief within a few weeks, while orthodontic or restorative treatments may take longer to correct bite alignment.
