Not all TMJ-related jaw pain starts in the joint.

The most common type is muscle-based, caused by overworked or overstretched jaw muscles. It might show up after clenching during stress or from chronic tension that throws your bite out of balance.

If your jaw feels sore often, it’s more than a bad habit it could be a sign your muscles are working overtime to correct misalignment.

Why is TMJ so difficult to diagnose?

Many people associate TMJ solely with jaw pain or clicking, but the reality is much more complex. Because symptoms often include vertigo, tinnitus (ear ringing), neck pain, and chronic headaches, many patients spend years seeing specialists who may only mask the symptoms with medication.

We believe in a more scientific approach. By using objective data to measure muscle tension in the face, head, and neck, we can accurately identify if a TMJ disorder is the true culprit behind your discomfort.

It’s time to stop masking the pain and start treating the source.

Is a standard night guard enough to stop your headaches?

For minor tension, perhaps, but for true TMJ issues, a flat piece of plastic only protects the teeth; it doesn't support the joint.

Our approach goes beyond protection to active correction. Using computer-aided measurements of your facial muscles, we create a precise orthotic that postures your jaw into its optimal "sweet spot."

If your current guard isn't providing relief, your jaw may require a more precise level of support. Learn more at https://www.michigantmjandsleep.com/!
