#1 Best TMJ Treatment | Relief & Care at Avelle Orthodontics

TMJ Treatment at Avelle Orthodontics

Find Calm, Comfort, and Balance for Your Jaw

At Avelle Orthodontics, we believe your smile deserves to feel as good as it looks. If you’ve been struggling with jaw discomfort, clicking, or stiffness, you may be experiencing issues with your TMJ—the temporomandibular joint that connects your jaw to your skull. The good news? Relief is closer than you think. Our caring orthodontic team offers gentle, science-based solutions to help you move, speak, and smile with ease again.

Understanding TMJ and Its Importance

Your TMJ plays an essential role in daily life—it helps you chew, talk, yawn, and express yourself. When the joint becomes strained or misaligned, even simple activities can cause discomfort. Common TMJ symptoms include:

Jaw pain, soreness, or tightness
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds
Headaches or ear pain
Difficulty opening or closing your mouth fully
Facial tension or muscle fatigue

While these symptoms might seem minor at first, they can quickly interfere with eating, sleeping, and your overall quality of life. TMJ issues often develop from factors such as teeth grinding (bruxism), stress, poor posture, or an uneven bite.

At Avelle Orthodontics, we focus on identifying the root cause of your jaw pain rather than simply treating the symptoms. Our comprehensive TMJ assessments and personalized treatment plans are designed to restore balance, function, and lasting comfort.

Our TMJ Treatment Options

Custom Oral Splints & Nightguards

Our custom-fitted oral appliances are designed to reduce strain on your TMJ while you sleep. By preventing clenching and grinding, these devices allow your jaw muscles to relax and your joint to heal naturally. Comfortable, lightweight, and easy to wear, they provide effective protection against nighttime tension.

Orthodontic Alignment for TMJ Relief

Sometimes, jaw discomfort is linked to misaligned teeth or an uneven bite. Correcting these issues through braces or Invisalign® can significantly reduce pressure on the TMJ. At Avelle Orthodontics, we design treatment plans that not only enhance your smile’s appearance but also improve how your bite functions—helping your jaw move more comfortably and efficiently.

Bite Adjustment Therapy

A small change in how your teeth meet can make a big difference in relieving jaw stress. Our orthodontist evaluates your bite carefully and performs minor adjustments, if needed, to ensure smoother, pain-free jaw movement.

TMJ-Focused Home Care Guidance

True comfort extends beyond the dental chair. Our team will guide you through simple self-care techniques to complement your in-office TMJ treatment, including:

Eating softer foods that are gentle on your jaw
Using warm compresses to relax tight muscles
Practicing gentle jaw stretches
Avoiding habits like gum chewing or jaw clenching

These small, mindful changes can accelerate healing and maintain your progress.

Relaxation & Stress Management Support

Because stress and jaw pain are often connected, we also help patients recognize and reduce tension-related habits. Mindful breathing, posture awareness, and gentle massage can support your TMJ therapy and promote overall well-being.

Fabulous, state of the art, wonderful, informative, kind and literally the best ortho out there!

Esther V.

Dr. Larson treated my husband with Invisalign, and my four children with regular braces. We loved Dr. Larson for his kindness and friendliness, but above all, we appreciated him more because he is just an excellent doctor as an orthodontist. His knowledge, skills, perfectionism, professionalism is exceptional. Because of Dr. Larson’s treatment, my family have healthy and beautiful teeth. He did a wonderful job both with Invisalign and regular braces.I have to add the after care of his practice is also excellent. We have lost or broken our retainers multiple times, and they were prompt to make a new one so that we could resume using the retainer before the teeth start moving back.He truly cares for his patients and their well-being, and it shows in his work and the outcome. You will have a great experience with Dr. Larson and his staff as my whole family did.

The staff could not have been more kind and Dr. Larson gave my son a lot of attention and made him feel very welcome. It was a fun experience! We were very impressed! So glad we found out about this office.
