Your ability to comfortably speak, chew, and perform everyday jaw movements greatly affects your oral health and quality of life. If you experience difficulty with these functions or suffer from headaches, muscle pain, or jaw discomfort, you may have a disorder of the temporomandibular joint, commonly known as TMD.

Request an Appointment

Dr. John Rohm, an experienced dental professional, is highly trained in diagnosing and treating the discomforts associated with TMD. He provides therapy for inflammation and muscular strain related to compromised jaw movement. Whether through gentle treatments or skilled diagnosis, Dr. Rohm and our compassionate team are committed to helping patients across Imperial and Allegheny County restore jaw function and improve quality of life.

Why Treat TMD?

TMD symptoms are often temporary and treatable, but more severe complications can arise when the temporomandibular joint or surrounding structures are damaged by trauma, excessive teeth grinding, or clenching. These issues can cause painful inflammation, misalignment of connective tissues, lockjaw, tightness in the jaw, and discomfort when opening or closing the mouth.

Dr. Rohm provides personalized treatments to alleviate pain, restore proper jaw function, and enhance overall well-being.

TMD Therapy Options

At our Imperial practice, patients receive expert diagnosis and comprehensive treatment for TMD. Using advanced 3D scanning technology, Dr. Rohm identifies the source of discomfort and determines the most effective treatment areas. Our team guides patients through every step of their care, ensuring optimal solutions.

  • BOTOX® Alternative TMJ Therapy
  • TMJ Splints
  • Occlusal or Bite Correction
  • Mouth Guards

Dr. Rohm focuses on addressing the root causes of stiff or limited jaw movement. Appliance therapies, including custom-designed splints and mouth guards, help relax overworked jaw muscles by reducing stress on the bite.

Our practice also offers BOTOX® therapy as an alternative treatment to relieve tension from headaches and migraines caused by teeth grinding or clenching. The serum relaxes strained facial muscles, often providing near-instant relief for long-term TMD sufferers.

In addition to appliance therapy and BOTOX®, Dr. Rohm advises patients on proper eating habits and exercises to reduce inflammation and maximize jaw comfort.
