What is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder, also known as TMD, occurs when the temporomandibular joint—which connects your jaw to your skull—experiences dysfunction or pain. Common causes include:

  • Teeth grinding (bruxism)

  • Jaw injuries or trauma

  • Arthritis in the joint

  • Misaligned bite or teeth

  • Stress leading to jaw tension

If left untreated, TMJ disorder can lead to chronic pain, difficulty eating, headaches, and more.

Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

TMJ symptoms vary, but the most common include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness

  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing your mouth

  • Difficulty chewing or biting

  • Headaches or migraines

  • Facial pain

  • Earaches or a sensation of fullness in the ears

  • Lockjaw or limited range of motion in the jaw

If you’re experiencing these symptoms, schedule a consultation with Textbook Orthodontics today. Early intervention is key to effective TMJ treatment.

Expert TMJ Treatment in Los Angeles

At Textbook Orthodontics, we specialize in non-surgical and minimally invasive solutions to TMJ disorders. Our approach focuses on addressing the root cause of your symptoms while providing long-lasting relief. Here’s how we can help:

1. Comprehensive Diagnosis

Our advanced diagnostic tools allow us to accurately assess the health of your temporomandibular joint. We’ll take a detailed medical history, perform a physical examination, and may use imaging techniques like X-rays or CBCT scans to get a complete picture.

2. Personalized Treatment Plans

No two patients are the same. Our team will design a treatment plan tailored to your specific needs, which may include:

  • Orthodontic treatments to correct bite alignment

  • Custom night guards or splints to reduce grinding and clenching

  • Exercises and physical therapy to strengthen jaw muscles

  • Lifestyle adjustments to minimize stress on your jaw

3. Orthodontics for TMJ Relief

Misaligned teeth or an improper bite often contribute to TMJ disorder. Using braces or clear aligners, we can correct these issues and alleviate jaw tension. This orthodontic approach not only improves your smile but also promotes long-term joint health.
