TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding
Keep Your Teeth Whole
Avoid Dental Damage With TMJ Treatment in Houston
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJs) serve an important function for your body. They enable you to open your mouth to talk, laugh, or yawn. You also use them to eat your favorite foods. Unfortunately, if these joints become inflamed, your whole quality of life can change. If you have jaw pain, hear popping sounds when you chew, or struggle with tooth sensitivity, you may need TMJ treatment in Houston.
TMJ treatment provides relief from chronic pain while restoring your ability to comfortably bite and chew your favorite foods. You'll experience reduced muscle tension in your jaw, neck, and head, plus protection against damage from teeth grinding. This care promotes long-term oral health and helps preserve your natural smile.

Experience Relief From Your TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorders can happen for a variety of reasons. An injury to your jaw, arthritis, bite alignment problems, teeth grinding or clenching, or stress can all result in this problem. Dr. Lee has invested in technology that can analyze your chewing ability using T-Scan equipment and joint vibration analysis (JVA). This technology assesses the vibrations created by joint fluid, bone, and cartilage.
If he finds that you would benefit from treatment, he may recommend:
- Custom Bite Guard - One solution is a customized oral appliance. You wear this device while you sleep, the most common time people grind or clench their teeth. By relieving the pressure on your jaw, you allow it to heal. The guard is comfortable to wear, so you can easily incorporate it into your nightly routine.
- Orthodontics - If your TMJ concern is related to a misaligned bite, we offer orthodontics to correct your teeth positioning. You will love discreet aligners for nearly invisible treatment that won't be obvious to others.
