What is TMJ Treatment

What Is TMJ Treatment?

TMJ treatment addresses disorders of the temporomandibular joint, the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become strained, often from clenching, grinding, or a misaligned bite, it can cause jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and difficulty chewing. Treatment focuses on relieving that strain and protecting your jaw, using options like custom nightguards, bite adjustments, and other targeted therapies. At Woodland Hills Family Dentistry, we tailor your care to the cause of your symptoms for comfortable, lasting relief.

The Benefits of TMJ Treatment

Pain Relief

Targeted treatment eases the jaw pain, soreness, and facial tension that TMJ disorders so often cause.

Fewer Headaches

By relaxing an overworked jaw, treatment can reduce the frequent headaches and migraines tied to TMJ.

Easier Chewing

Relieving jaw strain makes it comfortable to eat, talk, and open your mouth fully once again.

Protects Teeth

Treating clenching and grinding helps prevent the worn, cracked teeth that often come with TMJ.

Signs You May Need TMJ Treatment

Jaw Pain

Persistent pain, soreness, or tenderness in your jaw is a leading sign of a TMJ disorder.

Clicking Jaw

Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when you open or close your mouth often point to TMJ problems.

Frequent Headaches

Recurring headaches, especially around the temples, can be caused by jaw tension and clenching.

Locking Jaw

A jaw that catches, locks, or feels stiff when opening or closing should be evaluated for TMJ.

Technology That Guides Treatment

Digital X-Rays

Low-radiation digital images give us a clear look at your jaw joint and the surrounding bone, helping us understand what's driving your symptoms.

Intraoral Cameras

A small camera shows the wear on your teeth and the signs of clenching on screen, so you can see exactly what we see.

Digital Diagnostics

Detailed digital planning helps us design a bite appliance that fits precisely and relieves pressure right where you need it most.

You're in good company…
