TMJ & Sleep Apnea
Discomfort in the jaw, tension headaches, or poor sleep quality can deeply affect your everyday life. These issues are often connected to TMJ disorders or sleep-related breathing conditions like obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). We offer tailored, non-invasive solutions that prioritize your comfort and long-term health.
TMJ Treatment
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking or popping noises, and tension headaches. These issues often stem from misalignment, muscle tension, or stress-related habits like clenching and grinding. Our diagnostic approach includes evaluating your jaw movement, bite, and symptoms to determine the best treatment path.
We offer conservative, non-surgical therapies such as oral appliances designed to reduce pressure on the joint, restore proper alignment, and improve jaw function. These treatments are often paired with at-home care recommendations and stress-reduction techniques. Our goal is to help you find lasting relief and restore comfort in your daily life.
Botox® for TMJ and Pain
For patients experiencing persistent jaw tension, clenching, or bruxism, Botox® can be a valuable treatment option. This therapeutic use of Botox® targets overactive muscles, helping to ease tension and reduce pain. It’s particularly effective for patients whose symptoms haven’t responded to traditional mouthguards or physical therapy.
The procedure is minimally invasive and performed in-office, with most patients experiencing relief within a few days. Botox® for TMJ is safe, effective, and doesn’t interfere with eating or speaking. When used as part of a comprehensive TMJ treatment plan, it can significantly improve quality of life by relieving chronic discomfort.
