TMJ Treatment Tewksbury
Addressing Constant Jaw Discomfort at Its Source
Your TMJ, or jaw joints, are the hinge-like joints that connect your jaw to the rest of your skull and grant your mouth a wide range of motion. These joints can sometimes become strained or damaged for a variety of reasons, and the result is pain, headaches, potential damage to the teeth, and a long list of other problems. The good news is that professional TMJ treatment can help—and these solutions are designed to be non-invasive, comfortable, and immensely effective. To learn more or schedule your consultation, don’t wait to contact our Tewksbury dental office.

Nightguards
An occlusal splint is a special type of nightguard that’s worn over the upper or lower teeth and designed to reposition the jaw. By gently guiding the jaw into a more comfortable and stable position, they help to relax the surrounding muscles and ease the strain placed on the jaw joints.
BOTOX® Injections
When many people think about BOTOX, they envision all of the cosmetic benefits that it has to offer—but it can also be used to assist with TMJ disorder. Since BOTOX can be used to target and relax specific muscles in the face, it can be used to relieve tension surrounding the jaw joints and reduce the discomfort caused by TMD symptoms.
