Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the small but powerful joint located just in front of each ear, where your lower jaw connects to your skull. This joint allows you to open and close your mouth, chew, speak, and move your jaw side to side. When this joint becomes inflamed, strained, or misaligned, it can lead to a painful condition known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
TMD can interfere with daily life, causing symptoms like jaw pain, stiffness, headaches, earaches, and difficulty chewing or speaking. If you're experiencing these issues, Dr. Hobbs may recommend a personalized TMJ treatment plan to relieve pressure and restore proper function.
Our TMJ Solutions
We offer a non-invasive, comfortable solution for TMJ relief. Dr. Hobbs creates a custom-made intraoral appliance that you wear while you sleep. This device cushions your teeth and eases tension in your jaw joints and muscles. In some cases, we may also gently reposition the jaw to improve alignment and reduce symptoms.
TMJ treatment is simple, discreet, and designed to help you rest more comfortably while preventing further damage to your teeth and jaw.
Is TMJ Treatment Right for You?
If your jaw pops, clicks or locks during movement, or if you’ve been living with frequent headaches or facial soreness, TMJ treatment may help. Dr. Hobbs will evaluate your symptoms and perform a gentle exam to determine if TMD is the cause.
Don’t settle for jaw pain. Schedule a consultation today and take a step closer to lasting relief.
