TMJ Therapy
Treatment for jaw pain, clicking, locking and headaches that come from the jaw joint.
A sore jaw in the morning, a click when you yawn, headaches that start at the temples. These often trace back to the jaw joint, and often to grinding or clenching at night that you may not know you are doing.
Treatment usually starts simply, with a custom guard worn while you sleep. We look at the whole picture before recommending anything more.
What to expect
- An examination of the jaw joint, muscles and bite.
- A conversation about when the pain happens and what makes it worse.
- A plan, which often starts with a custom night guard.
Cost and insurance
Coverage for TMJ treatment varies by plan. Call with your details and we will check before treatment starts.
Common questions
What is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint connects the jaw to the skull. Grinding, clenching, injury or arthritis can irritate it, causing pain and clicking.
Will I need surgery?
Rarely. Most cases improve with a night guard, changes to habits and, where needed, physical therapy.
