Jaw pain, headaches, and clicking when you chew aren't things you have to just live with. TMJ issues are treatable, once we figure out what's actually causing them.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder affects the joint connecting your jaw to your skull, often caused by teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, stress, or joint problems themselves. It can show up as jaw pain, frequent headaches, clicking or popping when you open your mouth, or difficulty opening it fully.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?
If you've been dealing with unexplained headaches, jaw soreness, or a clicking jaw, and nothing else has fully explained it, TMJ is worth ruling in or out. A lot of patients live with these symptoms for years before realizing there's an actual treatable cause.
What to Expect
Treatment starts with figuring out what's actually driving your symptoms, grinding, misalignment, stress, or joint wear, since the right treatment depends entirely on the cause.
​
-
An exam and discussion of your specific symptoms
-
Identifying whether grinding, misalignment, or another factor is the cause
-
A treatment plan built around what's actually driving it
treatment options
Depending on the cause, treatment can range from something as simple as a custom night guard to more targeted options like Botox for jaw tension.
​
-
Custom night guards to prevent grinding damage
-
Botox injections to relieve jaw muscle tension
-
Bite adjustments for misalignment-related cases
​
Most patients see real relief once the actual cause is addressed, not just the symptom.
