TMJ Therapy

Headache and Jaw Pain Relief for Ottawa Residents

Does your jaw click or pop? Do you suffer from chronic headaches? These may be symptoms of a TMJ disorder– a condition that occurs when the jaw joints become misaligned. Our dental team can correct TMJ disorders with a custom-fitted, intra oral appliance or other simple therapies.

You may not think that a misaligned jaw sounds like a big deal, but patients with TMJ disorder experience a host of debilitating problems, including:

• Clicking or popping jaw joints
• Headaches and migraines
• Facial, neck, back, and shoulder pain
• Sensitive teeth
• Worn, cracked, or chipped teeth
• Limited movement or locked jaw

If your jaw joints are misaligned, it means that your facial muscles are working overtime to find a comfortable resting position. This causes the chronic muscle tension, facial pain, and headaches that millions of people attempt to alleviate with medications.

If you think you may suffer from TMJ disorder, contact Smyth Dental Centre for your consultation. We provide comprehensive care to residents of Ottawa, Gatineau, Central Ottawa, and Ottawa-East.
