Chronic jaw pain can impact your whole day, but it doesn’t have to. The experienced doctors at Capital City Smiles in Austin, TX, offer comprehensive, personalized treatment to help you find lasting relief from TMD.
What Is TMD?
Temporomandibular disorder (TMD) refers to a group of conditions affecting the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement. Chronic jaw pain, frequent headaches, clicking or popping in the jaw, and difficulty chewing are all common signs of TMD.
Our doctors take an individualized approach to diagnosing TMD and building a treatment plan that fits your needs and lifestyle.
Our TMD Treatment Options
Nightguards
A custom-fitted nightguard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth. By reducing the impact of nighttime grinding and clenching, nightguards relieve pressure on the jaw joint and allow overworked muscles to rest and recover.
Botox® for TMD
When injected into the jaw muscles, Botox is a clinically proven therapeutic tool that relaxes the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding. Many patients experience significant relief from jaw tension, headaches, and facial pain, with results lasting several months.
Invisalign®
Bite misalignment can be an underlying driver of TMD. Invisalign clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into proper alignment, reducing strain on the jaw joint and muscles while improving your overall bite.
Dental Surgery
For cases where structural issues are contributing to TMD symptoms, our doctors may recommend a surgical approach. We explain every option clearly and only recommend surgery when it is the best path forward for your long-term health and comfort.
