Many patients have regained the ability to engage in daily activities such as talking, eating, and laughing pain-free thanks to TMJ treatment. The cornerstone of effective TMJ therapy lies in identifying the treatment approach that suits you best. Our range of options includes custom mouthguards, orthodontic procedures, and Botox injections, among others. Together, we’ll assess and select the most suitable method for your needs.
The length of your TMJ treatment will depend on the treatment method you require. Some patients respond well to Botox treatment, which requires only 10 minutes to administer. Other patients need to wear a night guard while sleeping to eliminate their TMJ pain. Some patients respond best to clear aligner therapy, which usually takes between 12 and 18 months to complete

These conditions can cause a range of symptoms, including facial pain, headaches, and even ear discomfort. We encourage you to visit our practice if you’re noticing any of these signs – early intervention can make a significant difference in managing TMJ issues and improving your overall oral health.
