TMJ Therapy in Fulshear, TX – Find Lasting Relief from Jaw Pain

What Is TMJ and Why Does It Matter?

Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and plays a vital role in chewing, speaking, and daily movement. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to TMD, resulting in:

• Jaw pain or tightness
  
• Clicking or popping sounds
  
• Headaches or migraines
  
• Earaches or facial pain
  
• Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
  
• Worn-down or chipped teeth
  

Ignoring these symptoms can cause long-term damage to your teeth, muscles, and jaw alignment.

How We Treat TMJ Disorders

At Gavri Orthodontics, we take a comprehensive approach to TMJ therapy, beginning with a full evaluation of your bite, jaw function, and symptoms.

Your Personalized TMJ Treatment Plan May Include:

• Digital bite analysis using our advanced 3D scanning tools
  
• Custom occlusal guards or night guards to reduce grinding and clenching
  
• Orthodontic adjustments with clear aligners or Invisalign to improve bite alignment
  
• Bite balancing or equilibration therapy
  
• Collaboration with oral surgeons when structural intervention is required
  

Our goal is to treat the root cause—not just the symptoms—through conservative, non-invasive care whenever possible.

When to Seek TMJ Therapy

You may benefit from TMJ treatment if you’re experiencing:

• Persistent jaw discomfort or stiffness
  
• Frequent tension headaches or neck pain
  
• Clicking or popping sounds when chewing
  
• A misaligned bite or worn-down teeth
  
• Morning jaw soreness from overnight clenching
  

If you grind your teeth at night, our Bruxism Treatment or a custom occlusal guard may also be part of your TMJ solution.

TMJ Therapy vs. Other Treatments

Many patients ask if orthodontics can really help TMJ—and the answer is often yes. Unlike medications that only manage pain, orthodontic-based TMJ therapy can:

• Improve bite alignment to reduce joint strain
  
• Protect teeth from damage
  
• Relieve chronic clenching and grinding
  
• Prevent progression to more serious joint issues
  

If needed, we’ll coordinate with trusted specialists for advanced support through oral surgery or other collaborative care.
