TMJ
TMD treatments.
Relief for jaw pain, tension, and teeth grinding — without surgery.
TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping, and difficulty chewing. It is frequently linked to clenching, grinding, stress, and muscle overuse. We offer two conservative, non-surgical solutions — therapeutic Botox® and custom-fitted night guards — to relieve discomfort, protect your teeth, and restore comfortable jaw function.
A conservative, non-surgical approach
Relief from jaw pain, headaches, and clicking
Custom-fitted night guards to protect teeth and ease the joint
Therapeutic Botox® to relax overworked jaw muscles
HOW WE TREAT IT
Two conservative solutions.
Therapeutic Botox®
When TMD is driven by overactive or tense muscles, small, targeted doses of Botox® are administered into the jaw and facial muscles (such as the masseter and temporalis). By gently relaxing these muscles, Botox® reduces the clenching force that strains the joint — easing jaw pain, tension headaches, and soreness. Treatment takes only a few minutes in the office, requires no downtime, and results typically last three to four months before a simple follow-up.
Custom-fitted night guards
Many patients grind or clench their teeth during sleep (bruxism), placing constant stress on the jaw joint and wearing down teeth. We take precise impressions of your mouth to fabricate a custom night guard that fits comfortably and precisely. Worn while you sleep, it cushions the bite, holds the jaw in a relaxed position, and protects your teeth from grinding — relieving pressure on the joint and preventing further damage.
