Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause persistent pain, discomfort and difficulty with everyday activities such as eating and speaking. Dr. Pamela Powell specializes in diagnosing and treating TMJ disorders with advanced techniques tailored to each patient’s needs. We utilize state-of-the-art technology and proven therapies to help alleviate pain and restore proper jaw function.

Personalized TMJ Treatment Options

Effective TMJ treatment requires a comprehensive approach that focuses on stabilizing the jaw joint, relieving muscle tension and correcting bite imbalances. Powell TMJ & Sleep Solutions offers a variety of noninvasive and minimally invasive treatment options, including:

• Custom Orthotics – A removable, custom-fitted oral appliance helps align the jaw, relieving strain on the TMJ and surrounding muscles. This device supports a stable bite, reduces pain and improves function.
• Muscle Therapy – By addressing muscle tightness and imbalances in the jaw, neck and shoulders, muscle therapy helps reduce tension and prevent further strain on the TMJ.
• Patient Education and Counseling – Our doctor will provide guidance on posture, work habits and sleep positioning to help reduce strain on the jaw. Simple adjustments to daily activities can support long-term relief.

Achieving Long-Term Stability & Comfort

A well-balanced bite is essential for TMJ health. Many patients benefit from a combination of orthotic therapy and ongoing care to stabilize their jaw position. In some cases, additional treatment, such as orthodontics or restorative dentistry, may be recommended to achieve optimal alignment. We work closely with other healthcare providers, including orthodontists and general dentists, to ensure a comprehensive and coordinated approach to care.
