A:

To begin with, TMJ is the Temporal Mandibular Joint. We all have TMJ. However, your problem is TMD, Temporal Mandibular Disorder. This problem occurs with individuals that wear braces, and also with individuals that grind their teeth (bruxism) and clenching (jaw tightening). I treat the joint of the jaw and the muscles that are attached. You will have immediate relief. But you may need more than one session.

The muscles of the jaw are extremely strong because they are used for chewing. I strongly suggest that you also see your dentist, and invest in a night guard. This will protect your teeth from fracturing.
