Recognize the Signs of TMJ
TMJ disorders can affect more than your jaw. If you notice any of the signs below, a thorough evaluation at Smile Code in New York, NY can help identify the cause and guide relief.
• Jaw pain or soreness, especially on waking or after chewing
• Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when you open or close your mouth
• Headaches, facial pain, or pressure around the temples
• Ear symptoms such as fullness, ringing, or reduced hearing
• Limited opening, jaw locking, or a bite that feels uneven or “off”
• Tooth wear, chipping, or pain that seems to move from tooth to tooth
• Neck, shoulder, or upper back tension that does not resolve
• Dizziness, balance issues, or tingling and numbness in the hands or fingers
• Difficulty swallowing or snoring tied to jaw position and muscle strain
These symptoms often stem from a mix of muscle overactivity, joint inflammation, and bite imbalance. Our team uses 3D imaging, bite analysis, and joint evaluation to pinpoint the source and create a targeted plan for lasting comfort.
TMJ Treatments We Offer
Orthodontics
Targeted tooth movement can improve alignment, reducing strain and muscle overwork, and stabilizing joint function.
Fixed Orthotic Devices
Bonded bite appliances can gently reposition the jaw to support proper function, reduce inflammation, and promote predictable healing and comfort.
Removable Orthotic Devices
Custom removable appliances can guide jaw position during recovery, easing muscle tension, protecting teeth, and encouraging stable, comfortable function.
Occlusal Guards
Nighttime guards and deprogrammers can interrupt clenching habits, protect enamel from wear, relax overactive muscles, and support restful sleep.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation
Comprehensive bite reconstruction can restore harmony between teeth, joints, and muscles, effectively relieving persistent TMJ pain.
BOTOX Treatment
Precisely placed injections can relax overactive jaw muscles, reduce headache frequency, lower joint overload, and help prevent painful flare-ups.
Muscle Relaxants
Short-term medications can calm spasms, improve sleep quality, reduce daytime clenching intensity, and aid recovery alongside targeted dental therapies.
