Understanding TMJ Disorders

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull and allows you to talk, chew, and yawn comfortably. When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can cause pain and tension throughout the jaw, neck, and head.

Common symptoms include:

Jaw pain or tightness
Clicking or popping when opening your mouth
Headaches or ear pain
Limited jaw movement
Worn, sensitive, or broken teeth

At pulp&dentin, we take a personalized approach — identifying the root cause of your discomfort and developing a treatment plan designed just for you.

We proudly serve Ravenswood, Lincoln Square, Wrigleyville, Andersonville, and North Center.

Our Approach to TMJ Therapy

TMJ disorders can result from stress, teeth grinding (bruxism), misaligned bites, or injury. Dr. Renieris takes the time to understand your symptoms and lifestyle before recommending treatment.

Your care plan may include:

Custom Night Guards: These protect your teeth and relieve jaw strain by preventing clenching or grinding while you sleep.
Jaw Exercises & Relaxation Techniques: Simple at-home movements can ease tension and improve jaw function.
Bite Adjustments: Correcting bite alignment helps reduce uneven pressure on the TMJ.
Lifestyle Guidance: Stress management and posture awareness can significantly improve comfort.

Our goal is always conservative care first — reducing pain and improving function without surgery whenever possible.

What to Expect During Your Visit

Evaluation: We review your symptoms, take digital scans, and assess jaw movement.
Diagnosis: Dr. Renieris identifies signs of TMJ dysfunction or bruxism.
Treatment Planning: We create a personalized therapy plan tailored to your comfort and long-term oral health.
Relief & Follow-Up: Many patients notice relief soon after starting therapy, with continued improvement over time.

If bruxism (teeth grinding) is part of your TMJ issue, we may recommend bruxism therapy to help you protect your teeth while you heal.
