You may be experiencing:
TMJ Disorder
Do You Have TMJ Symptoms?
- Persistent jaw pain or muscle tightness
- Clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw joint
- Chronic tension headaches or migraines
- Referred pain in the neck and shoulders
- Involuntary teeth grinding (bruxism) or clenching
- Facial tenderness or unexplained ear discomfort
- Noticeable changes in your bite or uneven chewing patterns
Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD) is frequently misdiagnosed because its symptoms often mimic other conditions. Our practice utilizes specialized diagnostic tools to identify the biological root cause of your jaw dysfunction rather than just masking the symptoms.
