How it works
Treatment targets the jaw muscles that cause clenching and grinding. As those muscles relax, tension eases, headaches often improve, and your teeth get a break from constant pressure.
Who might consider this treatment?
Adults with jaw pain, clenching, grinding, or tension headaches. It may also help if your teeth show signs of wear or if other options haven't brought relief.
What is the typical experience?
Treatment is quick, in-office, and has no downtime. Many patients start to feel relief within days and notice better comfort and sleep.
How it helps
Calming overactive jaw muscles can ease pain, reduce headaches, and protect your teeth from wear. It's a simple way to feel more comfortable every day.
How long does it usually take?
Each session takes about 10 to 15 minutes. Relief often starts within days and can last for months. Many patients come back a few times a year to stay comfortable.
Is there anything to keep in mind?
For several hours after treatment, avoid pressing on or massaging your jaw. Regular follow-up visits help keep your results going.
What should I know about recovery after?
Your jaw may feel slightly tender or tight at first. Avoid lying down or exercising for a few hours. Most patients get back to their day right away.

The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the office is clean, modern, and really well-run. Every appointment felt smooth and efficient, which I really appreciated. Dr. Pinkerous is amazing—she’s so knowledgeable and takes the time to explain everything clearly. I always felt like I was in great hands, and it was clear she really cares about getting the best results for her patients. I’m so happy with my Invisalign results and couldn’t recommend Dr. Pinkerous and her team more. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who’s professional, kind, and truly skilled, this is the place to go!
