TMJ Therapy in Cumming, GA
Find Relief from Jaw Pain, Headaches & Bite Problems
If you struggle with jaw pain, headaches, or difficulty chewing, you may be experiencing TMJ disorder (TMD). At Inspiring Smiles, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ issues using advanced methods such as neuromuscular therapy. Our goal is to restore comfort, protect your teeth, and help you regain normal jaw function.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull. These joints work every time you eat, speak, or yawn. When they become strained or misaligned, you may develop TMJ disorder. Common symptoms include:
- Chronic jaw pain or tenderness
- Headaches and migraines
- Clicking or popping noises when opening or closing your mouth
- Difficulty chewing or a locked jaw
- Tooth wear caused by clenching or grinding
If left untreated, TMJ disorder can worsen over time and lead to serious damage to your teeth and bite.
Advanced TMJ Therapy Options
At Inspiring Smiles, we tailor TMJ therapy to your needs with solutions such as:
- Neuromuscular therapy – Helps retrain muscles, improve jaw alignment, and relieve strain on the joints.
- Custom oral appliances – Similar to nightguards, these devices prevent clenching and grinding while promoting a healthier bite position.
- Bruxism treatment – Protects your teeth from damage caused by grinding and clenching, often a contributor to TMJ pain.
- Occlusal mouthguards – Designed to correct bite issues and reduce jaw strain.
Our team will perform a thorough exam, which may include digital imaging, to determine the source of your discomfort and the best treatment approach.
