What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that connects the top of the jaw to the skull. TMJ and TMD are used interchangeably to refer to temporomandibular joint disorder, which is when a patient clenches their jaw and puts a lot of pressure on these joints, or an injury to the TMJ has occurred. Over time, tight clenching or TMJ injuries can cause a wide range of symptoms, and patients may experience the effects of TMJ occasionally or daily. If you suffer from TMJ, even only during times of stress or anxiety, we recommend seeking treatment to relieve your symptoms and prevent permanent or further damage from occurring.

What Are The Symptoms Of TMJ?
There are no standardized tests that can be performed to determine if a patient has TMJ. However, many patients who suffer from TMJ usually experience jaw stiffness, soreness, and pain in and around the jaw. From your symptoms, our team can help determine the best treatment to relieve pain and discomfort. Common TMJ symptoms include:
- Persistent pain in the jaw, face, or ears
- Jaw clicking or popping
- Difficulty chewing
- Frequent headaches
- Difficulty or inability to open mouth

Our 5-Star Orthodontic Experience
We want to not only meet but exceed your expectations and we love hearing feedback from our patients. Check out what patients are saying about their 5-star experience with us!
I completed my Invisalign plan with Dr. Nelson and Trinity Orthodontics. The whole process from initial screening to check up appointment to final retainer fitting was so smooth. Dr. Nelson and his staff were amazing and made the journey to correcting my teeth smooth and never had hidden fees or surprise payments. They are straightforward and tell you how much, how long, and how many appointments you need to have right at the initial visit. This is the place to go.

All the staff was so pleasant, Jamie did my consultation and she is amazing! So informative, and answers all questions with no hesitation, she’s very knowledgeable and really so sweet as a person! I appreciated her honesty and getting me set up to start Invisalign next month! 😊
Hillory W
Everyone is so happy and kind! They try to be as gentle as possible and definitely make sure you're comfortable. If you ever need a quick repair, they're there for you! I love my visits and don't like that sometimes they're too quick, lol. Dr. Nelson is amazing! My teeth are coming along nicely and I'm happier with my smile already!
Gallia K
I had an evaluation appointment with Lisa. She was really knowledgeable, informative, explained everything that she was doing as she was doing it, and was super nice! She explained all the options and gave advice without being very pushy and is clearly passionate about her job. The office is very clean and nice as well. Great experience - sending my husband to get checked out too!
