Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a vital role in chewing, speaking and facial movements. When the joint or muscles become strained, inflamed or misaligned, they can result from several factors, including:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Jaw injuries or trauma
- Arthritis affecting the joint
- Misaligned teeth or bite (malocclusion)
- Stress that causes muscle tension in the jaw
Symptoms of TMJ disorders vary but often include jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw, facial discomfort, ear pain and difficulty chewing. If left untreated, TMJ issues can worsen over time, leading to chronic discomfort or further dental complications.

Our dentists and team perform thorough evaluations to determine the cause of your TMJ disorder and develop a customized treatment plan. During your appointment, our dentists will assess your jaw movement, bite alignment and any related muscle tension.
Treatment options may include noninvasive therapies designed to alleviate symptoms and prevent further discomfort. Our focus is on providing solutions that improve jaw function, reduce pain and enhance your overall quality of life.
