Relief for jaw pain, clicking, and clenching
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When it's strained — often by clenching, grinding, stress, or a misaligned bite — it can trigger jaw pain, clicking, headaches, earaches, and worn teeth. We diagnose the cause and start with the gentlest, most effective treatment, usually a custom appliance made right here in Royal Palm Beach.
How we help
- Exam & diagnosis. We check your bite, jaw movement, and teeth for the source of the strain.
- Custom night guard / bite splint. A precision appliance relaxes the jaw and protects your teeth while you sleep.
- Bite therapy & follow-up. Adjustments and simple exercises to keep the pain from returning.

TMJ FAQs
TMJ & jaw pain questions, answered
What are the signs of a TMJ disorder?
Common signs include jaw pain or tightness, clicking or popping when you open, frequent headaches, earaches, and worn or sensitive teeth from clenching. If these sound familiar, a quick exam can pinpoint the cause.
How do you treat TMJ and jaw pain?
Most cases respond to conservative care: a custom night guard or bite splint to relax the jaw and protect the teeth, bite adjustment, and simple exercises. We start with the least invasive option that relieves your pain.
How much does TMJ treatment cost in Royal Palm Beach?
A custom night guard or bite splint at our Royal Palm Beach office typically ranges from $400 to $800. We confirm pricing at your exam, verify insurance where it applies, and offer in-house financing.
Will a night guard stop me grinding my teeth?
A custom-fitted night guard cushions and repositions the jaw so grinding (bruxism) does far less damage, easing morning headaches and protecting your enamel. Store-bought guards rarely fit well enough to help.
Does insurance cover TMJ treatment?
Many dental plans cover a portion of night guards and bite therapy. We check your benefits before treatment, provide a written estimate, and offer in-house financing for any remaining balance.
