TMJ Therapy

The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your lower jaw to your skull and allow you to open, close, speak, and chew. Problems affecting these joints or the surrounding muscles are commonly referred to as temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

TMJ therapy focuses on identifying the possible cause of your jaw discomfort and providing an appropriate treatment plan to help improve comfort, jaw movement, and everyday function.

What Are TMJ Disorders?

TMJ disorders can involve the jaw joints, chewing muscles, or surrounding tissues. Symptoms can range from mild and temporary to persistent and disruptive.

Common symptoms may include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness

  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth

  • Difficulty or discomfort while chewing

  • Limited jaw movement

  • Jaw stiffness or locking

  • Facial pain

  • Ear-area discomfort

  • Headaches associated with jaw muscle tension

  • Pain around the temples or cheeks

  • Changes in the way the teeth come together

Clicking or popping without pain or limitation does not always require treatment. A dental assessment can help determine whether further evaluation is needed.
