A More Complete Approach to TMJ
Jaw pain isn't normal—let's talk TMJ health. If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking, popping, headaches, or even ear discomfort, your
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) could be to blame. This complex joint connects your jaw to your skull—and when it’s not functioning properly, it can affect everything from chewing and speaking to posture and sleep.
Dr. Caulfield is trained in
GNM (gneuromuscular) dentistry, one of the most comprehensive approaches to treating TMJ dysfunction. GNM focuses on aligning the
teeth, jaw joints, muscles, and full-body posture to uncover and treat the root causes of chronic pain—not just the symptoms.
Why so many patients come to us for tmj relief
At Epic Dentistry, we see many patients who’ve spent years—and thousands of dollars—trying to get answers about their jaw pain, only to be left frustrated by incomplete diagnoses and short-term fixes.
Precision Diagnostics = Better Treatment
One of the most important keys to treating TMJ is finding the
optimal jaw position—and that takes advanced tools. At Epic Dentistry, we use
Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) Therapy. This cutting-edge method uses a digital bite analysis (T-Scan) and muscle tracking (EMG) to evaluate exactly how your teeth and muscles are working together. It helps us perform
incredibly precise bite adjustments, especially helpful in TMJ and restorative dentistry.
What to Expect
The truth is, there’s no single medical standard for treating TMJ disorder. That means your diagnosis often depends on the lens of the provider—whether they specialize in bite alignment, muscle pain, or something else entirely.
With his broad training across modalities, Dr. Caulfield will review your symptoms, evaluate your bite, and walk you through personalized treatment options. Whether your case is mild or complex, we’re here to help you find lasting relief through an airway- and muscle-informed approach.
