What is TMJ Therapy?
TMJ therapy refers to various treatments aimed at addressing issues related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jawbone to your skull. Disorders in this joint can cause pain, discomfort, and functional problems in the jaw and face. TMJ disorders may stem from arthritis, jaw injury, or habitual clenching and grinding of teeth (bruxism).
Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
Patients seeking TMJ therapy often report:
- Pain or tenderness in the jaw
- Aching pain around and in the ear
- Difficulty chewing or discomfort while chewing
- Aching facial pain
- Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close the mouth
- Clicking or grating sounds in the jaw joint when opening or closing the mouth

Our TMJ treatment plans are tailored to the individual needs of each patient and may include:
- Oral Appliances: Custom-made mouth guards or splints that help realign the jaw and relieve pressure on the joint.
