What is TMJ Disorder (TMD)?
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) are the hinge joints on either side of your jaw that assist in speech, chewing, and yawning. When these joints become misaligned or inflamed, they can cause a plethora of uncomfortable symptoms, including:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Popping or clicking sounds when chewing, speaking, or yawning
- Facial soreness
- Tension headaches or migraines
- Earaches or ringing in the ears
- Difficulty chewing or locking of the jaw
TMD often develops from clenching or grinding (bruxism), a misaligned bite, stress, trauma, or arthritis. These factors place excessive strain on the jaw joints and muscles, eventually leading to inflammation, dysfunction, and chronic pain if left untreated.
How We Treat TMJ at Our Logan, UT Dentistry
We take a complete approach to TMJ treatment that focuses on identifying and relieving your specific symptoms and preventing further joint damage. Your TMJ treatment plan may include:
- EMFACE™ Technology — For patients whose TMJ symptoms are tied to jaw tension or clenching, EMFACE can be a comfortable, non-invasive option designed to help relax overworked jaw muscles using gentle muscle stimulation and soothing heat.
- Custom TMJ Night Guards — Night guards reduce clenching and teeth grinding at night and help your jaw relax while you sleep.
- Bite Analysis & Adjustment — Our dentists evaluate how your teeth come together and adjust your bite to reduce stress on the jaw joints.
- Muscle Relaxation Therapy — We show you techniques to reduce inflammation and relieve muscle tension.
- Collaborative Care — We will work with your physician, physical therapist, or sleep specialist when necessary to provide whole-body support.
At Aspen Dental of Cache Valley, every TMJ treatment plan is customized to your specific needs, symptoms, and level of TMD severity. Our experienced TMJ dentists are here to listen to your concerns and draft the best possible treatment plan for your situation.
In-Depth Jaw Analysis & Diagnostics
We use advanced technology to get a complete picture of how your jaw functions. Our diagnostics allow us to trace jaw movements in three-dimensional space, measure joint vibrations, and evaluate chewing activity. We can also detect signs of joint inflammation and record muscle activity in conjunction with bite force. This detailed assessment provides us with a clear understanding of your TM joint health, so we can recommend the most accurate care options for lasting relief.
Introducing EMFACE®️: A Modern, Non-Invasive Option for TMJ Relief
If your TMJ symptoms are tied to jaw tension, clenching, or facial soreness, you may be a great candidate for newer technology designed to help the jaw muscles relax. At Aspen Dental of Cache Valley, we now offer EMFACE treatment as a modern, non-invasive option that can support comfort and relief for certain TMJ-related symptoms.
TMJ issues aren’t always just about the joint itself. For many people, the real problem is that the muscles around the jaw stay tight and overworked — especially if you clench at night, grind your teeth, or carry tension in your face during the day. When those muscles never fully “turn off,” it can lead to pain, headaches, stiffness, and even difficulty opening your mouth comfortably.
EMFACE is designed to help address that kind of tension by combining gentle muscle stimulation with soothing heat. Many patients describe it as relaxing, and the settings can be adjusted to keep treatment comfortable.
Most TMJ-focuesed EMFACE treatment plans are quick and manageable. Treatment is often completed in a series of four sessions, about 20 minutes each, typically a week apart. If you’ve already tried a night guard or home care strategies but still feel stuck with jaw tightness or facial muscle tenstion, EMFACE may be the treatment you need to finally relieve your TMD symptoms.
TMJ, Oral Health, and Headaches: It’s All Connected
Your TMJ condition can directly affect your oral and overall health. Chronic jaw clenching can wear down teeth, cause receding gums, and even lead to cracked restorations. Left untreated, TMD can trigger persistent TMJ-related headaches, migraines, and sleep disruption.
That’s why early diagnosis and intervention are key to long-term comfort and wellness.
