TMJ/TMD Treatment in Orem, UT

Jaw pain, clicking or popping when you chew, and frequent headaches can all point to a problem with the temporomandibular joint, the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. These temporomandibular disorders, often called TMJ or TMD, can make eating, talking, and even resting uncomfortable. Understanding the cause is the first step toward finding relief. Stress, grinding, injury, and bite problems can all play a role, which is why a careful evaluation matters.

At White Smiles Family Dentistry in Orem, our dentists evaluate your jaw, bite, and symptoms to look for the source of your discomfort. We may use 3D CBCT imaging to see the joint more clearly, and we discuss treatment options matched to what we find, which may include a custom oral appliance. Our friendly team listens carefully to your concerns and explains each recommendation so you understand your options. We also ask about habits such as clenching or grinding to understand what may be contributing.
