TMJ Treatment
At Norton Family Dental, we are proud to offer advanced treatments for temporomandibular joint dysfunction, otherwise known as TMJ, to provide lasting relief for our patients. TMJ is caused by inflammation in the temporomandibular joint, the sliding hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull.
What are the symptoms of TMJ?
TMJ can cause pain and discomfort along the jawbone and may make it painful to even move your jaw. While jaw pain alone doesn’t always indicate TMJ, common symptoms include headaches, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds, and pain in the face, jaw, or ear.
Our TMJ treatment options include:
- Custom-designed 3D printed occlusal guards – precisely crafted to protect teeth, reduce strain on the jaw, and relieve discomfort.
- PBM pain-relieving laser therapy – advanced photobiomodulation treatments using the Gemini™ by Ultradent diode laser to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing.
- Emface™ treatments – a non-invasive technology that improves facial muscle tone and balance, helping to relieve tension often associated with TMJ disorders.
