Get Relief from Your TMJ Disorder



What is a TMJ Disorder?

Your temporomandibular joint acts as a hinge, allowing you to open and close your mouth for chewing, speaking, yawning, and other functions. There are times when the muscles controlling the joint suffer strain from stress, grinding your teeth, or a poorly aligned bite. In some cases, there can be an abnormality with the joint itself, such as damage from a previous injury or arthritis.

No matter the cause, you can experience an array of symptoms, such as jaw or facial pain and tenderness. The discomfort may not be isolated to your jaw. In fact, it can also radiate to your neck or ears. It is common to have frequent headaches as well.

TMJ disorders often cause you to have limited mobility of the joint. It can make your jaw click and pop or make a grating sound when opening and closing your mouth. In some cases, it may even lock into an opened or closed position.


Treating TMJ Disorders

Besides discussing your symptoms, we perform a comprehensive examination of your oral structures and your jaw. This may also include digital images to allow us to see issues that may be brewing beneath the surface. Based on our findings, we create a customized treatment plan to stop your pain while improving your jaw’s function.

Often, we recommend the use of an oral appliance, which is custom-fit for your comfort. It aligns your jaw to rest in a more natural position to take the strain off your joints. Over time, your jaw is retrained to naturally fall into that position for long-term relief.

If an oral appliance is not effective, we may recommend reshaping your teeth. Minor adjustments are made to the top and bottom teeth to allow them to come together in a more harmonious way. This can provide you with permanent relief.

While you undergo treatment, there are several things you can do at home to help stop your discomfort, such as stress-relieving exercises, eating softer foods, and avoiding gum. Your dentist carefully explains their suggestions to relieve the strain on your jaw.




Intraoral Cameras


This small, camera-tipped wand enables our team to create high-resolution images of your teeth and gums that can be displayed on a large chairside monitor. With them, our team is better able to catch dental issues, and they’ll also allow you to finally see your smile from your dentist’s point of view. Using this knowledge, you’ll gain a much deeper understanding of your dental health that will help you make more well-informed care decisions in the future.

Digital X-Rays


X-rays have been an essential part of dentistry for a long time, which is why our dental office has invested in the most advanced form of them. With digital x-rays, we can create images much faster than with traditional, film-based x-rays, we don’t need darkroom chemicals to do so, and they even emit up to 90% LESS radiation than regular x-rays. Also, because the images are completely digital, they can be stored and sent infinitely in an instant.
