Frequent headaches, jaw pain, ear discomfort, or clicking when you chew may be signs of a TMJ disorder. This joint, located near the ear where your jaws meet, can become strained from stress, clenching, or grinding—leading to pain and limited movement.
At Aesthetic Dentistry, our doctors perform a thorough evaluation to identify the cause of your symptoms. Custom TMJ splints and oral appliances are often recommended to relieve pressure, restore comfort, and help your jaw function naturally again.
Experience gentle, effective solutions designed to ease discomfort and bring balance back to your bite.
Typically, the first line of treatment will be the use of a splint or oral appliance. A TMJ splint or oral appliance is worn to reduce the stress on the jaw. This allows the muscles to function properly and may reposition the lower jaw to fall properly into the TMJ socket.
TMJ appliances are a conservative and reversible treatment option that may provide pain relief. There are many different types of splints and appliances that our doctors can fabricate for you. One of our doctors will complete a clinical examination, use radiographs and your symptoms to help you decide the best treatment for you.
