Jaw Problems

Clicking, locking, tension, or pain in the jaw and surrounding facial muscles can be uncomfortable and, in some cases, can affect daily activities. Jaw issues can stem from TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, clenching or grinding habits, or even bite alignment, and can cause pain, headaches, migraines and cracked teeth. In severe cases, tooth wear can affect the jaw position.

After thorough assessment and consultation, our team will create a tailored treatment plan to manage your TMJ pain that might include night guard therapy, masseter muscle massage, muscle relaxants and/or orthodontic options. All designed to help support balance and function to your jaw and relieve discomfort. Treatment is always based on your individual symptoms and lifestyle, with a focus on protecting your teeth, easing muscle tension and pain, and improving jaw movement.

Understanding the risks

Treatment for jaw problems aims to improve comfort and function, but it carries some potential risks, such as temporary discomfort, changes in how the jaw feels or moves, or the need for ongoing management or further treatment. In some cases, symptoms may not fully resolve or may return. Our dentists or clinicians will discuss the risks and options with you before treatment so you can make an informed decision.
