Start with conservative, custom careTMJ treatment options at Costa + Williams
No two TMJ cases are alike. That’s why we start with a detailed evaluation to understand how your bite, joints, muscles, and lifestyle factors may be contributing to the problem. Depending on your symptoms and goals, we may recommend:
- Night guards or splints: Custom-made devices that align your bite and protect your teeth during sleep
- Anti-inflammatory medication: For short-term relief from pain and swelling
- Massage or physical therapy: Gentle techniques to release muscle tension in the jaw and surrounding areas
- Lifestyle support: Help identifying stress, posture, sleep, or dietary habits that may be contributing to jaw strain
The goal isn’t just short-term relief, it’s long-term improvement.
