More Than Just Straight Teeth
At Viva Orthodontics, we believe a healthy smile is about more than just appearance. That’s why Dr. Jimmy Martineau takes a whole-patient approach to care, offering advanced treatment for TMJ disorders in children, teens, and adults.
Get Relief From Jaw Pain
TMJ disorders can cause daily discomfort, headaches, and difficulty with simple tasks like chewing or speaking. At Viva Orthodontics, we provide personalized TMJ treatment to relieve pain, restore function, and improve your quality of life.
What Is TMJ?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint — the small hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. TMJ disorders occur when this joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or overworked, often causing pain in the jaw, face, neck, and even shoulders.
Many people with TMJ issues also experience clicking or popping when opening their mouths, difficulty chewing, or locked jaw joints. These symptoms can be mild or severe, and they often worsen without treatment.
How TMJ Treatment Helps
Customized TMJ treatment can bring long-term relief from chronic pain and tension. El tratamiento de ATM realinea suavemente la mandíbula para reducir el dolor, restablecer un movimiento suave y, a menudo, aliviar los dolores de cabeza tensionales crónicos causados por la tensión de la mandíbula. By identifying the root cause of your discomfort — whether it’s bite misalignment, grinding, stress, or joint dysfunction — we can create a care plan that restores comfort and movement.
Treatment may involve orthodontics, bite adjustments, custom nightguards, or therapeutic exercises. Our goal is to reduce strain on the joint, improve function, and help you feel better every day — without invasive surgery.
