Muscle Relaxants
Facial & Jaw Muscle Therapy for TMJ, Tension, and Headaches
Do you experience:
- Jaw, facial, or tooth pain
- Tension-type headaches
- Pain while eating
- Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
These issues may be caused by clenching or grinding your teeth, placing stress on your jaw muscles and temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
At The Smile Place, we provide an effective muscle relaxation therapy that eases overactive jaw and facial muscles—reducing tension, discomfort, and tooth wear. This device-free therapy is a comfortable alternative for those who find night splints difficult to use or ineffective.
For some patients, a custom-fitted nightguard may be an effective alternative to muscle relaxants. Nightguards work by reducing the strain on your jaw joints and protecting your teeth from grinding or clenching during sleep. This non-invasive option can help relieve discomfort and prevent long-term damage to your teeth and jaw.
