TMJ Treatment for Jaw Pain & Discomfort
If you’re experiencing frequent jaw pain, stiffness, headaches, or clicking sounds when you chew, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder—a condition that affects the temporomandibular joints, which connect your jaw to your skull.
When these joints become misaligned or overworked, it can lead to chronic discomfort, limited jaw movement, and even pain that radiates to your neck, shoulders, or face. At Celina Family Dentistry, Dr. Newton and our experienced team offer custom TMJ treatment solutions to help relieve tension, restore function, and improve your overall quality of life.
A Closer Look at TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders occur when the temporomandibular joints (TMJs)—the small but powerful joints connecting your jaw to your skull—become strained or misaligned. This can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like jaw clicking, popping, stiffness, pain, and even headaches or earaches.
TMJ issues often develop from chronic teeth grinding (bruxism), stress-related jaw tension, trauma, or bite misalignment. In many cases, it’s a combination of these factors that triggers the discomfort. At Celina Family Dentistry, Dr. Newton uses advanced diagnostics to identify the underlying cause and create a personalized treatment plan to restore comfort and balance to your bite.
TMJ Diagnosis and Custom Oral Appliance Therapy
At Celina Family Dentistry, we utilize advanced dental technology to accurately diagnose and treat TMJ disorders. With the help of detailed digital imaging and modern diagnostic tools, Dr. Newton can precisely evaluate your jaw alignment and pinpoint the root cause of discomfort, such as misalignment, joint strain, or bruxism.
If treatment is needed, we may recommend a custom oral appliance, designed using digital impressions for a comfortable and personalized fit. This advanced splint therapy works by gently realigning the jaw, reducing pressure on the TMJs, and preventing further damage from nighttime teeth grinding. By combining expert care with cutting-edge technology, we help patients in Celina and surrounding areas find long-lasting relief from TMJ symptoms without surgery or invasive procedures.
