Understanding TMJ
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) can cause discomfort, pain, and difficulty in moving the jaw.

Our team provides personalized TMJ treatment options designed to alleviate pain and improve jaw function. Through gentle, non-invasive therapies, we can help reduce tension in the jaw muscles and restore comfort. Whether you’re experiencing mild discomfort or chronic pain, we’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and restores your quality of life.
What Causes TMJ Disorders?
TMJ can stem from genetics if it is in your family health history. It can also be a result of trauma to the face or jaw. Hormones affect the jawbone and lead to TMJ symptoms. Bruxism, or grinding the teeth, can strain the jaw joint and lead to TMJ signs. Arthritis is an inflammatory condition that affects the bones. Stress also contributes to TMJ, resulting in unconscious tightening of the jaw. Dr. Briggs will conduct a thorough examination to evaluate your symptoms, review your medical history, and determine the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder.
