Effective Relief for Jaw Pain and TMJ Disorders at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead

Do you experience frequent jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort while chewing? These symptoms may be linked to TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders or an overactive masseter muscle. At Evolve Dentistry in Portishead, we offer a treatment approach designed to relieve jaw pain, reduce muscle tension, and improve both comfort and jawline appearance.

What Are TMJ Disorders and Masseter Muscle Concerns?

TMJ disorders and masseter hypertrophy (enlargement of the jaw muscle) are common conditions that can affect daily comfort and quality of life. Many people experience these issues due to teeth grinding, clenching, stress, or injury, leading to symptoms such as:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Discomfort when chewing or opening the mouth
• Headaches or facial soreness
• Changes in jaw shape, like a squared or widened jawline

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, Evolve Dentistry can help assess and address these concerns.

How Evolve Dentistry Can Help Alleviate Jaw Pain and TMJ Issues

Our treatment approach focuses on gently relaxing the overworked muscles around the jaw to provide pain relief and functional support. Targeting these muscles helps to:

• Reduce Pain and Jaw Tension: Relaxed jaw muscles can reduce the pain and tightness associated with TMJ disorders.
• Protect Your Teeth from Damage: By decreasing clenching and grinding, treatment helps to reduce wear and tear on your teeth.
• Improve Jawline Appearance: For some patients, relaxing the masseter muscle can result in a softer, more refined jawline shape.

The journey begins with a detailed consultation with Dr. Yasmin Zeina to assess your symptoms, discuss any concerns, and identify treatment goals. During this consultation, Dr. Zeina will evaluate your jaw muscles, listen to your concerns, and help create a tailored treatment plan.
