TMJ refers to the joint that connects your lower jaw to the base of your skull. When this joint becomes strained, inflamed, or misaligned, it can lead to a condition known as TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder). Common symptoms include jaw pain, tension headaches, facial soreness, earaches, and even difficulty opening or closing your mouth.
TMJ treatment focuses on relieving the pressure on the joint and surrounding muscles, restoring proper alignment and function. Dr. Shahira Saad takes a comprehensive and conservative approach to care—starting with a thorough diagnosis and offering personalized solutions such as custom oral appliances (nightguards), muscle therapy, or bite adjustments designed to reduce discomfort and prevent further damage.
TMJ treatment restores your freedom from chronic pain, giving you back the confidence to speak, eat, and smile without limitation.
Jaw soreness, neck and shoulder tension, and frequent migraines often stem from TMJ dysfunction. Treatment helps reduce inflammation and ease chronic discomfort.
If you’ve been struggling to chew, speak, or yawn without pain, TMJ care can help improve your jaw mobility and function.
Unmanaged TMD can lead to worn teeth, joint damage, and bite misalignment. Early intervention prevents further complications and supports a healthy smile.
Dr. Saad will perform a comprehensive exam using advanced imaging and bite analysis to determine the source of your symptoms. We’ll look at your jaw function, muscle tension, and overall bite alignment to create a clear picture of your TMJ health.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include a custom nightguard to reduce teeth grinding and jaw tension, adjustments to your bite, or a combination of therapies to relax the jaw muscles. We may also suggest stress-reducing habits and lifestyle modifications to support your recovery.
We’ll monitor your progress and make adjustments as needed. Our goal is to not just relieve symptoms—but to help you maintain a healthy, functional jaw over the long term.
