TMJ disorder affects the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. When the joint is misaligned or under strain, it can lead to jaw pain, headaches, clicking, clenching, and more. We start with a detailed assessment and offer treatments to relieve pressure and restore proper jaw function.

Ease tension and jaw pain

When your jaw is out of alignment, your muscles stay in overdrive. Treatment helps relax the joint and reduce everyday discomfort.

Fewer headaches

Chronic tension in your jaw can radiate across your temples, eyes and neck. With the right support, you can feel clearer, lighter and more focused.

Stop clenching and grinding

Whether it happens at night or through the day, grinding can damage your teeth and strain your muscles. Splints and therapy help break the cycle.

Better sleep, less flare-ups

Disrupted sleep from pain or jaw tension can wear you down. A custom splint or botulinum treatment can help you rest more deeply and comfortably.
