Jaw pain isn’t just an inconvenience—it can affect eating, speaking, and sleeping. Clicking sounds or morning jaw soreness may indicate TMJ disorder. At BOCO Dental & Prosthodontics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders with advanced, non-invasive solutions.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, acting like a sliding hinge for chewing, speaking, and yawning. TMJ disorders can cause pain, limited movement, and changes in bite alignment.
Jaw pain or tenderness, especially in the morning
Clicking, popping, or grating sounds when opening or closing the mouth
Headaches or earaches without an obvious cause
Difficulty chewing or feeling your bite is “off”
Facial muscle tension or swelling near the jaw
TMJ issues can develop from:
Teeth grinding (bruxism)
Arthritis in the joint
Stress-related jaw clenching
Misaligned bite or past dental trauma
We offer specialized treatments to relieve pain and restore jaw function:
Custom Nightguards → Protect against teeth grinding and reduce strain
Bite Adjustments → Correct misalignment to improve function
Solea Sleep Laser Therapy → Non-invasive treatment for airway-related jaw issues
Facial Pain Management → Techniques to reduce inflammation and muscle tension
