TMJ Disorders

If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking, locking, or tension headaches, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder. At Peak Prosthodontics in Lethbridge, we offer advanced, personalized TMJ disorders treatment that addresses both symptoms and root causes—so you can feel like yourself again.

As prosthodontic specialists, we understand the delicate balance between your jaw joints, bite, muscles, and teeth. That means you’re getting care that’s not only focused on relief—but on long-term stability and function.

Relief for Jaw Pain, Headaches, and Tension

What Is TMJ?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders (sometimes called TMD) happen when this joint becomes misaligned, overworked, or inflamed.

Common symptoms include:

  • Jaw pain or tightness
  • Popping or clicking sounds
  • Limited movement or jaw locking
  • Chronic tension headaches or migraines
  • Earaches, neck pain, or facial soreness
  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

If these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to explore a better path forward.

Our Approach to TMJ Disorders Treatment

There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for TMJ. That’s why we take a full-system approach that evaluates your bite, muscle function, posture, and lifestyle stressors to create a plan that’s both effective and sustainable.

TMJ Treatment Options May Include:

  • Custom occlusal appliances (nightguards or splints) to protect teeth and reduce muscle strain
  • Bite adjustments to improve how your teeth come together
  • Physical therapy coordination for jaw and muscle support
  • Stress-reduction guidance and habit coaching (for clenching or grinding)
  • Collaboration with other specialists, including chiropractors or physicians if needed

Do I need surgery for TMJ?
In most cases, no. Conservative, non-surgical treatment options are highly effective for managing TMJ disorders.

Will a nightguard help?
Yes—if your symptoms are caused by grinding or muscle tension, a custom nightguard (occlusal appliance) can protect your teeth and relax the jaw muscles.

How long does treatment take?
Every case is different. Some patients experience relief within weeks, while others require a longer-term, phased approach. We’ll discuss realistic timelines during your consultation.
