Jaw Pain and TMJ treatment in Mississauga

Relief from Grinding, Clenching & Jaw Discomfort Starts Here

Do you wake up with jaw pain, tension headaches, or worn teeth? You may be experiencing TMJ disorder or bruxism—conditions that affect the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. 

At North Star Dentistry, we offer advanced, non-surgical solutions for TMJ pain, nighttime grinding, habitual clenching, and facial muscle tension, all tailored to your unique symptoms and lifestyle.

• Morning jaw stiffness or soreness
• Frequent tension headaches or migraines
• Clicking or popping when opening/closing your mouth
• Masseter muscle spasms, TMJ pain or tightness in the cheeks
• Flattened, worn, or chipped teeth
• Neck, shoulder, or facial pain
• Difficulty chewing or jaw locking
• Poor quality sleep
   

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone, and you don’t have to live with it anymore.

 TMJ dysfunction can result from a number of factors, including:

• Nighttime grinding (sleep bruxism)
• Daytime jaw clenching (often stress-related)
• Bite misalignment
• Muscle hyperactivity
• Joint inflammation or injury
• Airway obstruction.
   

At North Star, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnose and treat the root cause—not just the symptoms.

Laser Pain Therapy

A gentle, non-invasive TMJ treatment that helps reduce inflammation, relax tight muscles, and stimulate healing around the jaw joint. Patients often feel relief within a few sessions.

BOTOX for TMJ Pain and Muscle Clenching in Mississauga

Therapeutic Botox injections help relax overactive jaw muscles (especially the masseter muscke) and reduce pain caused by chronic grinding or tension. Bonus: many patients notice a more contoured jawline too.

Custom Orthotics

We're not talking about your regular generic nightguard. We're refering to  custom-designed,  personalized bite splints and airway enhancing snoring appliances to reduce strain on your jaw joint and prevent tooth wear. These appliances are made using digital scans for the perfect fit.

We also fabricate TMJ deprogrammers that help the misaligned lower jaw to return to its normal position, allowing the condyle of your joint to sit properly in your skull. This is only done by dentist with advanced TMJ training.

Let’s help you sleep better, chew comfortably, and live pain-free. TMJ treatment in Mississauga is just one visit away.
