TMD Treatment in Regina

Support For Your Tmj, Day And Night

If your jaw clicks, pops, or feels sore, you may be dealing with TMD — a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull.

TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder) can develop gradually or after an injury. For many people, it’s linked to nighttime clenching or grinding, stress, bite alignment, or muscle tension.

We offer non-surgical appliance therapy to reduce strain on the joint, relieve muscle tension, and protect your teeth — helping you get back to eating, sleeping, and living without constant discomfort.

Common Symptoms Of TMD

Jaw pain or tightness

Clicking, popping, or locking in the jaw

Frequent headaches or neck tension

Facial soreness or ear discomfort

Pain when chewing or opening wide

If these symptoms sound familiar, we’ll assess your jaw joint, bite, and overall oral health to determine whether TMD is the cause — and how we can help.

How We Treat TMD

For many patients, a custom oral appliance (also called a stabilization or night guard) can reduce clenching and reposition the jaw slightly to relieve pressure on the joint.

We may also recommend:

Jaw exercises or posture adjustments

Stress management strategies

Soft food diets during flare-ups

Coordinated care with physiotherapists or other health professionals

TMD varies from person to person — and we’ll tailor your care to your specific symptoms and goals.

What To Expect

Treatment usually begins with impressions or scans for your custom appliance, which is worn during sleep (or sometimes throughout the day). It works by guiding the jaw into a more relaxed position, helping muscles recover and reducing joint stress over time.

Most people notice gradual relief over the course of a few weeks.
