Is Your Bite Out of Alignment?

Common Symptoms

TMJ issues often manifest as jaw tenderness, popping or clicking sounds, difficulty chewing, or unexplained neck and shoulder pain. Many patients also suffer from "morning headaches" caused by nighttime clenching (bruxism).

Our Diagnostic Approach

We utilize advanced 3D CBCT imaging to view the jaw joint in high-resolution detail. This allows us to see exactly how the joint is positioned and identify structural issues that traditional 2D X-rays miss.

Boutique Treatment Options

We focus on non-surgical, conservative treatments tailored to your specific physiology:

  • Custom Occlusal Splints: Precision-fit nightguards to protect teeth and decompress the joint.
  • Bite Adjustment Therapy: Minor reshaping to ensure your teeth meet in a relaxed, natural position.
  • Therapeutic Botox®: Targeted injections to relax overactive jaw muscles and provide rapid relief from tension headaches.
  • Orthotic Appliances: Day-wear appliances designed to support the jaw in an ideal neuromuscular position.
