TMJ & Bite Therapy

Relief at the root. Restoration that lasts.

If you grind your teeth, wake up with headaches, feel popping in your jaw, or constantly carry tension in your face—this page is for you.

What Is TMJ Dysfunction?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction is a condition where the jaw joint and surrounding muscles become misaligned, inflamed, or overworked.

Symptoms may include:

Jaw pain or clicking
Headaches or migraines
Tension in the face, neck, or shoulders
Worn down or cracked teeth
Difficulty chewing or opening wide

TMJ symptoms are often misdiagnosed or treated in isolation. At Smile House, we take a whole-mouth, whole-body approach—because your jaw affects everything from posture to sleep.
