TMJ treatment
Jaw discomfort can influence how you eat, speak, and move through your day. TMJ and TMD concerns often develop from habits like clenching, an imbalanced bite, muscle tension, or changes in the jaw joint itself. We take a measured, supportive approach — examining how your jaw moves, listening to your symptoms, and identifying the most likely cause.
Treatment usually begins with conservative strategies designed to reduce strain, improve comfort, and help prevent flare-ups.
Why it happens
Your jaw joint is small, but it takes a beating. Clenching, grinding, stress, or old injuries can push it past its limit. The pain can spread to your head and neck, and before long even simple things — eating, talking, yawning — feel like work.
How we help
- A careful assessment of jaw movement, clicking, muscle tenderness, and bite patterns
- Personalized recommendations such as night guards, habit adjustments, or stretches
- Clear follow-up so we can monitor your progress and adjust care as needed
