Enjoy Life Again With TMJ Therapy
Jaw pain, clicking, and morning soreness are signs that your TMJs need attention. Left untreated, the problem can worsen and lead to more serious damage to your teeth and surrounding structures. Addressing it early gives your joints the best chance to heal properly.
Relief From Chronic Pain
Treating TMJ dysfunction puts an end to the persistent jaw pain that interferes with eating, talking, and everyday activities.

Clicking and Popping Stopped
Treatment stops the distracting popping sounds from your jaw that occur every time you open or close your mouth.
Improved Joint Health
Getting the right care gives your TMJs the opportunity to heal and function the way they were designed to do.
Heal Your Jaw Using a Custom Bite Guard
One of the most common ways to treat a TMJ disorder is with a custom bite guard that protects your teeth from the grinding and clenching that typically happens during sleep. Easing that pressure gives your jaw the chance to heal and reduces your symptoms over time.
In some cases, Invisalign® may also be recommended, since a misaligned bite can contribute to TMJ problems. Your dentist will determine which approach fits your needs best.
If a bite guard is the right fit, digital impressions of your teeth will be used to create one that's made specifically for you. A custom guard offers clear advantages over anything you'd find in a store:
- Improved Comfort - Your guard is crafted to fit the exact shape of your teeth, making it more comfortable to wear than a generic over-the-counter option.
- Greater Pain Relief - Wearing your custom guard creates a buffer between your teeth that reduces pressure, eases jaw pain, and allows your joints to heal more naturally over time.
- Better Protection - A custom guard is more durable and provides stronger protection for your teeth. If grinding has already caused damage, restorative treatments are available to repair it.
- Easy Maintenance - Caring for your bite guard is simple. A gentle brush with mild soap and a soft-bristled toothbrush is all it takes to keep it clean and in good condition for years.
