You might have a TMJ disorder if you are experiencing jaw pain or tenderness, clicking or popping sounds when you bite or chew food, and headache or neck pain. These symptoms are among many, and can range from mild to severe.

Your regular dental checkup is the perfect opportunity to discuss any TMJ symptoms you’ve been experiencing. Even if your symptoms seem minor, catching this problem early on can prevent ongoing discomfort. Your dentist will use digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to diagnose your TMJ disorder.

Depending on their findings, they may recommend:

  • Bite Guards – You may receive a custom-made bite guard that prevents grinding and clenching, which can contribute to TMJ pain. Wearing a bite guard at night can reduce the stress on your jaw joints and muscles.
  • Occlusal Corrections – Misaligned teeth can put extra stress on your jaw joints, leading to TMJ disorders. Your dentist may recommend occlusal corrections, such as tooth reshaping and dental restorations. It will adjust the way your teeth fit together to create a more balanced bite.
  • Facial Rejuvenation Treatments – You can receive Xeomin injectable treatments to relax the muscles in your face and jaw. These treatments can reduce TMJ pain and prevent further strain on your jaw joints.
  • Clear Aligners Clear aligners, such as Invisalign or CandidPro clear aligners, can correct your teeth alignment without the need for metal braces. This treatment can reduce the stress on your jaw joints and stop your TMJ symptoms.
