What Is TMJ/TMD?
When your jaw joint hurts
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ/TMD) happens when the joint connecting your lower jaw to your skull becomes inflamed and stops working properly. Common symptoms include:
- Popping or clicking in the jaw
- Pain that spreads to the neck or shoulders
- A grating feeling when you move your jaw
- A jaw that gets stuck open or closed
- Headaches and worn-down teeth
Treatment Options
Personalized relief
TMJ can have several causes, so treatment may combine more than one approach.
Appliance Therapy
Custom appliances gently guide your jaws into the correct position to relieve strain.
Bite Correction
When teeth are misaligned, orthodontics such as Invisalign can correct the bite.

How do night guards help TMJ?
A night guard holds your jaw in a neutral position while you sleep, preventing clenching so your joint and muscles can relax. It may be combined with anti-inflammatory medication and physical therapy.
Are night guards right for everyone?
No. If TMJ is caused by a misaligned bite, we may recommend orthodontics or other treatment instead. An exam is the best way to find out.
Can a misaligned bite cause other problems?
Yes. A severe overbite, underbite, or crossbite can lead to jaw pain, headaches, and teeth that wear down faster than normal.
