TMJ Therapy in Houston, TX

Find the Source of Your Jaw Pain

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts as a hinge between your jawbone and skull. When it becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can cause a range of symptoms, including:

• Jaw soreness or stiffness
• Popping, clicking, or grinding sounds
• Chronic headaches or migraines
• Pain in the face, neck, or shoulders
• Limited jaw movement or locking
• Earaches or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

Because symptoms vary and often overlap with other conditions, an accurate diagnosis is critical. That’s why our approach to TMJ therapy begins with a detailed evaluation using 3D cone beam imaging, digital bite analysis, and a review of your complete dental and medical history.

Personalized, Non-Invasive TMJ Treatment

Once we identify the underlying causes—such as clenching, poor bite alignment, stress, or trauma—we create a custom treatment plan tailored to your needs. Our non-surgical TMJ therapies may include:

Custom Oral Appliances

Stabilization splints or nightguards are crafted using digital impressions to reduce jaw strain, discourage grinding, and support proper alignment.

Bite Adjustment and Occlusal Equilibration

Minor adjustments to your bite or restorations may help distribute pressure more evenly and reduce joint strain.

Myofascial and Neuromuscular Therapies

We use intraoral and external techniques to relax overworked muscles and retrain jaw movement patterns.
