Get Relief From Your TMJ Symptoms

Dr. Stephanie Manning and our team are committed to helping you find relief from TMJ disorders. We understand that TMJ issues can significantly impact your quality of life, and we’re here to provide effective, personalized treatment. Our TMJ treatment process involves:

  • Comprehensive evaluation of your jaw joints and surrounding muscles
  • Use of our iTero digital scanner to create a detailed heat map of potential trouble spots
  • A custom-made TMJ appliance to reduce tension on your jaw joints
  • A personalized treatment plan to address your specific symptoms and needs

The iTero digital scanner allows us to get a precise picture of your jaw’s alignment and function. This advanced technology helps us identify problem areas that might not be visible to the naked eye. Based on this information, we’ll have a custom TMJ appliance made for you. This appliance is designed to:

  • Reduce pressure on your jaw joints
  • Relax the muscles around your jaw
  • Prevent teeth grinding and clenching
  • Promote proper jaw alignment

Our goal is to eliminate your uncomfortable TMJ symptoms. They may include jaw pain or tenderness, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, difficulty or pain when chewing, headaches or ear pain, and locking of the jaw joint. We’ll work closely with you throughout your treatment, making adjustments as needed to ensure the best possible results. With proper care and consistent use of your TMJ appliance, many patients experience significant relief from their symptoms.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment
Does TMJ treatment work?

TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.

Will insurance pay for my TMJ treatment?

This varies depending on your insurance policy. TMJ disorders are a health issue that should be treated, and our team will do our part to make sure you get the full benefits covered by your dental plan. You also should know that we offer flexible payment options through CareCredit as well as in-house financing.
