About tmj & jaw pain
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your lower jaw to your skull. When the joints or the surrounding muscles are under strain, from clenching, grinding, bite problems or other causes, you may notice pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches or difficulty chewing.
At Brighton Dental Care, we begin with a thorough examination of your jaw, bite and symptoms. When appropriate, CBCT 3D imaging gives a detailed view of the jaw joint to support diagnosis.
We then offer customized treatment options, including bite adjustments, oral appliances such as custom night guards, and advanced therapies to relieve pain and improve jaw function.
Common symptoms
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds
- Frequent headaches
- Difficulty chewing
- Teeth grinding or clenching
