What is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint disorder, affects the joints that connect your jaw to your skull, as well as the surrounding muscles. This condition can cause pain, stiffness, headache, jaw clicking or popping, and difficulty when opening or closing your mouth—which can have all kinds of negative effects on your daily life. At our Sparks practice, we can diagnose the cause of your TMJ disorder and offer customized treatments to restore comfort and proper jaw function.
How We Treat TMJ Disorder
We offer personalized TMJ treatment focused on relieving pain and restoring healthy jaw function. We often turn to custom-made occlusal splints, which gently realign the jaw, reduce muscle tension, and prevent bruxism (teeth grinding) that contributes to TMJ disorder. These comfortable appliances can be worn to sleep at night or during the day as needed. We might also recommend BOTOX injections to help relax your overactive jaw muscles and further reduce your TMJ-related discomfort.
