Patients who have chronic jaw pain and you know, they’ve been told, “Oh my God, you grind your teeth and you know, you have TMJ issues,” these patients they, they really suffer. I see it every day. They really suffer. We do our best to identify the main reason why you have an issue with your TMJ. Believe it or not, most of the time it is not a jaw joint. Mostly the pain originates with muscles. That’s why we have a neuromuscular approach to a TMJ treatment. Where necessary, we use trigger point injections. We do use Botox for chronic headaches. We use appliance therapy and when necessary, we use therapy injection with platelet-rich plasma. This is more of a multidisciplinary approach as well. I work with an excellent physical therapist and I work with a couple fantastic chiropractors. So where necessary, we really have a team of specialists who takes care of you. I can’t really claim that, you know, I solve everything. Absolutely not. But I want to say we have about 90% success rate and that’s pretty darn good.

Get The Treatment You Need to Restore Your TMJ Function
You may be suffering from a TMJ disorder without realizing it. It’s easy to attribute your symptoms to stress, tension, or other factors. However, if you experience issues such as clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth, difficulty chewing, and headaches, you may have a disorder. Left untreated, this can lead to chronic pain, tooth damage, and more.

To begin your treatment, Dr. Bublik will conduct a thorough assessment of your jaw health. This will include an exam, advanced imaging, and discussion of your symptoms and medical history. Based on your unique needs, he will develop a tailored treatment plan that may include:
- Mouthguards – Dr. Bublik can create a custom-fitted mouthguard that will relieve jaw pain, prevent tooth damage, and promote proper jaw function.
- Botox – In some cases, Botox injections can relax overactive jaw muscles and reduce pain and tension. It’s an FDA-approved treatment method for TMJ disorders.
- Orthodontics – You may need orthodontic treatment, including dentofacial orthopedics for children, to address underlying jaw imbalances. It will also improve both the function and beauty of your smile.
- Tooth Bonding – Sometimes the shape and structure of your teeth can trigger TMJ problems. Your dentist may suggest tooth bonding to correct the alignment of your teeth and promote a proper bite.
- Physical Therapy – Your dentist partners with skilled physical therapists to provide targeted exercises and techniques to improve jaw mobility, reduce pain, and promote healing.
- Sleep Disordrer Treatment – If your TMJ disorder is related to sleep issues, such as sleep apnea, Dr. Bublik will coordinate care with sleep medicine specialists to ensure a comprehensive approach to your treatment.

We understand you want to end the pain caused by a TMJ disorder as soon as you can. The truth is, treatment can take weeks or months depending on the severity of your situation and what needs to be done. For most patients, an oral appliance is the perfect solution in and of itself. For others, orthodontics or restorations may be needed to realign teeth to reduce grinding for the long term.
It’s possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.
