TMJ Treatment

Treat Your Persistent Jaw Pain at Sleep Better Metrowest

Get Relief From Constant Jaw Pain

Dr. George Ghaly and the team at Sleep Better Metrowest offer a variety of proven and effective treatments for TMJ Disorder (TMD). 

Our team works directly with you to build a custom treatment plan that will alleviate your jaw pain, restore function to your joints, and relieve pressure and stress on the muscles surrounding your jaw.

Treatment Options for TMJ Disorder

Oral Appliances & Splints

Custom designed to reduce teeth clenching, grinding, and to support proper jaw alignment during nighttime and daytime. These comfortable appliances can be worn while sleeping or during common stressful times where grinding & clenching occur.

Injectable Treatments

Relieve pain, pressure, and encourage muscle recovery with therapeutic injections for TMJ. These injections reduce inflammation in the muscles surrounding an overworked jaw that cause significant discomfort.

How Oral Appliances Help with TMJ Pain

TMJ Appliances also offer additional benefits! Many patients notice symptoms and pain reduce very quickly, within a few week, but they also notice they are sleeping better and waking with far fewer head and toothaches.

Oral appliances for TMJ, or Splints, are the most common first-line option for treating TMD. These custom-fitted appliances help protect your teeth while promoting proper jaw alignment.

A properly fitted TMJ appliance is designed to reduce strain on your jaw while providing light realignment to encourage healing of the irritated joint, ligaments, and muscles around the TMJs. 

Patients love this treatment option because it is non-invasive, reversible, and requires no permanent changes to the teeth.
