Our Specialized TMJ Treatments

Our personalized TMJ treatment plans range from minimally invasive mouthguards to corrective (orthognathic) jaw surgery for complex cases. As experts in TMJ disorder, we can provide an accurate diagnosis of your jaw problems and provide targeted treatment to ensure successful, long-term results.

Mouthguard

A mouthguard or nightguard custom-made to fit the teeth acts as a barrier so that grinding and clenching do not damage the teeth. It can help lighten the impact and pressure characteristic of bruxism. A mouthguard also reduces the risk of long-term wear and tear of the teeth.

Occlusal splints

An occlusal splint is a custom-made oral appliance fitted to the teeth that keeps the teeth in the upper jaw from touching the teeth in the lower jaw. If the teeth or jaws are out of alignment, it can help the jaw muscles relax and jaw joints stabilize. When teeth are not allowed to touch, they can no longer clench and grind, which stresses the jaw joints and muscles.

Arthrocentesis

Arthrocentesis is a minimally invasive procedure where needles are inserted into the jaw joint to flush out scar tissue debris and remove inflammation from around the joints. The joint discs may be manipulated back into proper position. Arthrocentesis can help improve the comfort and function of the jaw joints.

Orthognathic surgery

Orthognathic, or corrective jaw, surgery is a procedure to reposition or rebuild the upper, lower, or both jaws. Corrective jaw surgery puts the jaw joints and teeth into a more harmonious position, reducing the strain misaligned teeth put on the muscles and realigning the jaws for proper function.
