TMJ/TMD Treatment

TMJ disorder, or TMD, causes jaw pain, discomfort, and headaches for 35 million people in the U.S. TMD is treatable, and you don’t have to suffer.

The temporomandibular joints are the most complicated joint in the human body. They allow your jaw to move fluidly while chewing or speaking.

TMD can be caused by inflammation, physical trauma, or teeth grinding. Symptoms of TMD include:

  • Soreness or tenderness in the face or jaw.
  • Headaches.
  • Difficulty opening and closing the mouth.
  • Clicking or popping sounds coming from the jaw.
  • Ringing in the ears or pain around the ears.

TMD Splints

A TMD splint or night guard is a small plastic appliance that fits into the mouth. It shifts the jaw into its optimal position and allows the muscles to rest while you sleep. It also acts as a barrier between the teeth to prevent grinding and TMJ issues.

Our TMD guards help our patients avoid invasive treatments and enjoy a more comfortable life. Our guards and splints are:

  • Small.
  • Easy to use.
  • Proven to relieve TMJ pain with consistent use.
