TMJ Treatment
Conservative, evidence-based care for jaw pain, clicking, and TMJ disorders.
What is TMJ Treatment?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders cause jaw pain, clicking, popping, headaches, and limited jaw movement. At Amores Dental, we take an evidence-based, conservative approach: starting with a thorough exam, a custom occlusal splint, bite analysis, and lifestyle adjustments before considering anything more invasive. Most patients experience significant relief with the basics.

Frequently Asked Questions
Painless clicking by itself is usually not a problem. If clicking is accompanied by pain, locking, or limited opening, that's worth evaluating.
