What Are TMJ Disorders and Bruxism?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull, allowing you to talk, chew and yawn comfortably. When this joint becomes misaligned or irritated, it can lead to TMJ disorders (TMD), causing the following:
- Oral and facial pain
- Jaw stiffness
- Headaches
- Clicking and popping of the jaw
- Sore jaws
- Ringing ears
- Dental wear
Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often goes hand-in-hand with TMJ issues. Bruxism occurs when you unconsciously clench or grind your teeth, often during sleep, which can wear down your teeth and worsen jaw pain.

Whether your symptoms are mild or severe, our team will work with you to find the best treatment plan for long-lasting relief. We offer custom oral appliances, muscle relaxation techniques and physical therapy to help improve your quality of life.
