TMJ disorders can cause significant discomfort, affecting your ability to chew, speak and even sleep. Our dentists and team are committed to diagnosing and treating TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, using advanced techniques to alleviate pain and restore function. Our compassionate approach focuses on personalized treatments designed to address the specific needs of each patient, ensuring effective relief and improved jaw mobility.
What is TMJ Treatment?
TMJ treatment encompasses a variety of therapies aimed at relieving pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles that control jaw movement. Depending on your unique condition, treatment may include oral appliances, physical therapy, medications or even injections. Our goal is to reduce symptoms and restore normal function without invasive procedures whenever possible. Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual’s symptoms and lifestyle, providing targeted and effective relief.
The TMJ Treatment Experience
At Modern Smiles Nampa, your journey to TMJ relief begins with a comprehensive evaluation to understand the root causes of your symptoms. We assess your jaw movement, listen to your concerns and may use imaging studies to diagnose accurately. From there, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include wearing a specialized mouth guard at night to prevent teeth grinding, exercises to strengthen jaw muscles or techniques to better manage stress and reduce jaw tension.
