What Is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint, the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. Disorders in this joint or its surrounding muscles lead to pain, clicking, and restricted movement. TMJ treatment may include occlusal splints (custom mouthguards), stress-reducing techniques, Botox injections, and guidance on jaw habits.

Signs and symptoms of TMJ include:

  1. Jaw Pain or Tenderness: Patients often feel aching or sharp pain in the jaw joint or the muscles around it, especially when chewing, talking, or yawning.
  2. Clicking, Popping, or Grinding Sounds: The joint may make noticeable noises when opening or closing the mouth. These sounds sometimes accompany discomfort or restricted movement.
  3. Limited Jaw Movement: Difficulty opening the mouth fully, or feeling that the jaw “locks” in place, signals TMJ dysfunction.
  4. Headaches and Facial Pain: Many patients experience tension headaches, earaches, or pain that radiates through the temples, cheeks, or neck.
  5. Tooth Wear or Sensitivity: Grinding or clenching (bruxism) linked to TMJ can cause enamel wear, chipped teeth, or sore, sensitive teeth.
  6. Ear Symptoms: TMJ issues may create a sense of fullness in the ears, ringing (tinnitus), or dizziness—often mistaken for ear infections.

 

Neck and Shoulder Pain: Muscle tension from jaw misalignment can extend beyond the face, causing stiffness or aching in the neck and shoulders.

How TMJ Treatment Benefits You

  • Reduces jaw pain and headaches
  • Improves bite alignment and chewing comfort
  • Enhances sleep by preventing nighttime grinding
  • Restores jaw motion for easier speaking and eating
  • Supports overall oral health and reduces facial tension

 

Patients find their pain diminishes quickly and often report better sleep, less jaw stiffness, and renewed confidence. Treatment improves the quality of life across daily activities.
