At Invisalign Center, our experienced TMJ specialists prioritize your well-being and comfort. We’re here to assist you every step of the way.
Most TMJ disorders can be treated conservatively, especially if they are associated with habits such as clenching, grinding, or related to teeth misalignment. TMJ pain can be efficiently managed using a variety of techniques, including protective bite splints and orthodontic therapy. While surgery is required in some circumstances, our TMJ specialists have the expertise to find the perfect and less invasive therapy for any TMJ dysfunction. If surgery is required, we will thoroughly explore less invasive options with you, allowing you to make an informed decision about your health.

How It Works
On your first visit, one of our TMJ specialists will take a close look at your jaw. We’ll talk with you about any discomfort or issues you’re experiencing to determine if you’re dealing with TMJ disorders (TMD). To aid our assessment, we might take X-rays or use other imaging methods, ensuring we get a comprehensive view of what’s going on inside.
Once we have diagnosed the problem, the next step is to chalk out a treatment strategy specifically for your TMJ issue. Your unique plan could encompass various treatments. These might range from pain relievers and physical therapy sessions to specific devices for your mouth, geared towards alleviating pain and getting your jaw back to its natural movement.
A common therapy for TMJ disorders involves a custom-made oral device designed to be worn while you sleep. But this isn’t just any device. Our expert dental practitioners will take a mold of your teeth to ensure that this appliance fits perfectly. This precise fit aims to diminish jaw discomfort and foster proper alignment, offering you relief.
After starting your customized therapy, our TMJ specialists will schedule regular check-ups to review your symptoms, assess how effective the procedure has been, and adapt your TMJ treatment plan if needed. At Invisalign Center, our goal is to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome and long-term relief from jaw pain.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our unique approach to Temporomandibular Joint disorders (TMD) includes comprehensive methodologies. Instead of merely providing short-term relief, we delve deep to address the root causes, offering our patients more enduring solutions and alleviating their discomfort more comprehensively.
Our prime objective is patient comfort. We employ techniques specifically tailored to ensure minimal discomfort. In fact, a significant number of our patients report experiencing little to no pain during the treatment process.
Invisalign is primarily designed for teeth alignment. However, correcting bite irregularities can effectively reduce undue stress on the TMJ, potentially easing related symptoms and discomforts.
The duration of noticeable results can vary widely among patients. However, many of our patients have reported significant relief after only a few treatment sessions, underscoring the efficacy of our approach.
Our TMD treatments are developed to be as safe as possible, with minimal side effects. Nonetheless, we highly recommend patients to voice any concerns to our specialists for a comprehensive understanding.
Insurance coverage is subjective and can differ among providers. To ascertain your coverage specifics, we suggest connecting with both your insurance provider and our administrative team for accurate information.
What sets our Invisalign Center apart is our integration of specialized TMJ treatments. We offer a multifaceted approach, ensuring patients benefit from both dental alignment and TMJ therapeutic solutions.
While our treatments aim for long-term relief, TMJ disorders can potentially recur. However, by following our post-treatment guidance meticulously and maintaining regular care, the likelihood of recurrence can be significantly reduced.
