TMJ Treatment
Stop Jaw Clicking, Pain, and Clenching with Therapy
Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, and facial tension may be signs of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction. The TMJ connects your jaw to your skull and plays a critical role in speaking, chewing, and daily movement. When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can cause discomfort that affects overall quality of life. TMJ therapy focuses on reducing muscle tension, correcting bite imbalances, and restoring proper jaw function.
If you are experiencing jaw pain or persistent tension, call (334) 271-4600 to schedule an evaluation and discuss your treatment options.

How TMJ Therapy Works
TMJ treatment is customized based on the severity and underlying cause of your symptoms. The goal is to reduce strain on the joint while restoring balance and comfort.
TMJ therapy may include:
Comprehensive Bite Evaluation – Assessment of jaw alignment, muscle tension, and joint function.
Custom Oral Appliances – Stabilization splints designed to reduce clenching and protect teeth.
Muscle Relaxation Treatment – Targeted therapy to relieve tension in overactive jaw muscles.
Bite Adjustment Recommendations – Minor modifications to improve alignment and reduce stress on the joint.
Long-Term Monitoring – Ongoing evaluation to ensure symptom relief and prevent recurrence.
Early treatment can help reduce discomfort, prevent worsening symptoms, and restore normal jaw movement.
