Relief for Jaw Pain & TMJ Disorders
Do you wake up with a sore jaw or frequent headaches? You may be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). This occurs when the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles become misaligned or strained.
Symptoms of TMD
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth.
- “Locked” jaw or limited range of motion.
- Chronic headaches or earaches.
- Pain while chewing.
Our Approach to Treatment
Dr. Brooks evaluates your bite and jaw alignment to find the root cause. Treatment often involves Splint Therapy (a custom oral appliance worn at night) or minor bite adjustments to redistribute pressure and allow your jaw muscles to heal.
