Our process includes thorough diagnostics and digital imaging to assess joint health, followed by a custom treatment plan to reduce tension and inflammation.

  • Custom Oral Appliances – Non-surgical relief options that help relax the jaw, improve alignment, and reduce grinding.
  • Dental Restorations – Treatments such as dental crowns or bridges may be used to correct an uneven bite.
  • Lifestyle Modifications – We offer expert tips on posture, diet, and stress management to ease your symptoms.

  • Ongoing Support – Our team will work with you to track progress and adjust treatment as needed.

The latest in TMJ technology:

  • TENS Therapy: We use a J5 TENS machine to relax jaw muscles and relieve pain from spasms. Sessions last 45–60 minutes in a calm setting.
  • Electromyography (EMG): A Myotronics K7 device measures jaw muscle activity to check if the jaw moves properly.
  • Jaw Tracking: We assess jaw motion in 3D to detect movement issues like slow or jerky motion—something MRIs alone can’t do.
  • Sonography: We use sound-tracking to pinpoint clicking, popping, and other noises linked to TMJ symptoms like vertigo or ear pressure.
  • CT Scans: Focused CT imaging shows the condition of the jaw joints (condyles) and reveals any abnormalities.
  • Pharyngometry: We use a pharyngometer to confirm that jaw positioning opens the airway—important in treating sleep apnea, while also maintaining muscle balance.
Researchers estimate that approximately 30-45% of the population suffers from some form of TMJ disorder.
