Jaw Clenching & TMJ Support

Waking up with a tight jaw, headaches, or sore teeth? You’re not alone.

Jaw clenching and grinding (often linked to the TMJ, or jaw joint) is common—and over time it can lead to discomfort, tooth wear, and ongoing tension in the face and jaw.

What’s going on?

Clenching or grinding can place extra strain on the jaw muscles and joint, often during sleep or times of stress. This may cause:

• Jaw tightness or pain

• Headaches (especially in the morning)

• Tooth wear or sensitivity

• Clicking or discomfort in the jaw

How we can help

We start with a full assessment of your teeth, jaw, and muscles to understand what’s contributing to your symptoms. Treatment options may include:

• Custom night guards to protect your teeth while you sleep

• Jaw muscle treatments to help reduce overactivity in the masseter area

• Ongoing dental care to manage wear and protect your teeth

Most patients benefit from a tailored combination of approaches.

The goal

Less tension. Less pain. Less grinding.

And a jaw that finally feels a little more relaxed.
