Find Relief From Chronic TMJ Pain

Your TMJ joints can become inflamed for various reasons. Maybe you’ve had an injury, or perhaps arthritis is causing problems. You can also develop TMJ pain from grinding your teeth at night, or if you have jaw misalignment issues. Whatever’s behind your discomfort, our dental team is ready to help.

When you visit us, your dentist will take the time to discuss your symptoms and examine your mouth. They will pinpoint the root cause of your TMJ pain. Plus, they will use digital X-rays and 3-D imaging technology to gain a clear picture of what’s happening in your jaw. This thorough approach allows us to create a treatment plan tailored just for you.

Depending on your needs, your dentist might recommend:

  • Custom Nightguard – This specially designed mouthguard can protect your teeth and jaw while you sleep. It will reduce the impact of nighttime teeth grinding. Your dentist will use advanced scanning technology to design your customized biteguard.
  • Botox Treatments – These injections can help relax the muscles around your jaw, easing tension and reducing pain. They can become a regular part of your dental checkups. They will help give you long-lasting relief from your jaw pain.
  • Clear Aligner Orthodontics If misalignment is contributing to your TMJ issues, these discreet aligners can guide your teeth into proper alignment. This will relieve the pressure off your jaw. You’ll finish treatment in about 12 to 18 months, depending on the extent of your misalignment.
