Jaw pain, morning headaches, clicking joints, grinding and snoring often share the same root: an overworked jaw and a restricted airway. Our dentists treat both, starting with the muscles and the bite so relief lasts.
The temporomandibular joints let you chew, speak and yawn. When the surrounding muscles are strained by clenching, grinding or a misaligned bite, you may develop TMJ disorder (TMD): jaw pain, headaches, ear pressure and stiffness.
Grinding at night is also a common sign of a restricted airway. Many patients with TMJ symptoms also snore or have undiagnosed sleep apnea. Treating the jaw, the muscles and the airway together is how we get you comfortable and sleeping well.
Two checklists. If several items sound familiar, an evaluation with our dentists is the right next step.
TMJ treatment and Emface are the first step of a process that ends in a healthier, more balanced smile.
Grinding, clenching and TMJ strain overwork the jaw and facial muscles. TMJ treatment, a custom night guard and Emface muscle therapy calm that foundation first.
TMJ & Sleep ApneaWith the jaw settled, Invisalign moves the teeth into a balanced, functional bite. Straight teeth on a relaxed jaw stay comfortable and stable.

Facial AestheticsOne recent patient started with a night guard for grinding, then TMJ treatment, then Emface for the muscles of the cheeks, jaw and forehead. Only once the foundation was calm did we begin aligning her teeth. That order is what made her result last.
For many patients with mild to moderate obstructive sleep apnea, a custom-fitted oral appliance is a comfortable alternative to CPAP. Worn at night, it gently holds the lower jaw forward to keep the airway open.
We screen for airway concerns as part of your dental exam, use 3D CBCT imaging to assess the airway when needed, and coordinate with your physician or a sleep clinic for a formal sleep study before treatment.
Recommendations depend on the severity of your symptoms and the underlying cause. Most plans combine two or more.
Custom oral appliances reduce grinding and relieve pressure on the jaw joints while you sleep.
Non-invasive radiofrequency and HIFES energy relax and re-balance overworked jaw and facial muscles.
3D imaging and a detailed bite analysis identify imbalances that strain the joints.
Practical strategies to reduce clenching, muscle tension and other contributing factors.
Because stress often drives jaw tension, relaxation techniques may be part of your plan.
