Find Relief from TMJ Pain and Symptoms

TMJ Disorders

From mild to severe pain to chronic migraines and lockjaw, there’s no denying that temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can be debilitating for the millions of people who struggle with its effects every day.

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the temporal bones on either side of your face and is one of the most frequently used joints in the body, used consistently for biting, chewing, and speaking. When this joint becomes damaged by teeth grinding, trauma, bite misalignment, or even other medical conditions like arthritis, patients are diagnosed with TMJ disorder.

To help alleviate the symptoms of TMJ, Drs. Chris Givens and Jared Britt offer BOTOX® and bite guard therapy.

Treatment Options for TMJ Disorders

After discussing your TMJ concerns with our doctors, they will be able to determine which course of treatment will be best suited to address your needs with one of the following options:

BOTOX® for TMJ

BOTOX is a non-aggressive, safe and effective protein that can be injected directly into your facial muscles. This protein limits the frequency and intensity of muscles contractions to alleviate teeth grinding, lockjaw and TMJ pain. The end result is a smile that functions much more naturally.

Bite Guard for TMJ

If your TMJ pain stems from tooth grinding or bruxism, you may be a candidate for bite guard therapy. This TMJ treatment option limits the movement of your jaw, typically while you sleep, to protect the teeth and jaw from damage. Countless patients have already started living their lives normally again with the help of this effective treatment method.
