TMD Treatment To Ease Jaw Pain And Tension
TMD (temporomandibular disorder) affects the joints and muscles that help you chew, speak, and open your mouth. If you’re dealing with jaw stiffness, clicking, or headaches that won’t go away, you might be experiencing TMD — and we can help.
Our treatment approach uses custom appliances and supportive care to reduce strain on the jaw and relieve the tension that builds over time.
Common Signs Of TMD
Clicking or popping when you open your mouth
Jaw pain or tightness
Headaches or migraines
Earaches or pressure
Facial soreness or muscle fatigue
Teeth grinding or clenching
How Treatment Works
We will start with an exam to assess your jaw function and identify areas of stress or misalignment. If needed, we will create a custom-made appliance (similar to a night guard) designed to take pressure off the joint and relax the muscles.
This can be worn at night or during the day, depending on your symptoms. We may also recommend stretching exercises, bite adjustments, or referrals for physiotherapy if needed.
Why Early Treatment Matters
TMD symptoms often start mild but can worsen over time. Treating it early helps prevent chronic discomfort, dental damage, and issues with eating, sleeping, or speaking.
