Jaw pain shouldn’t keep you from enjoying everyday moments like eating, talking, or even getting a good night’s sleep. If you struggle with chronic headaches, facial tension, or persistent jaw discomfort, you’re not alone—and there is relief.
At Sethi Virdi DDS, we offer personalized TMJ treatment in San Jose, CA, designed to address the root cause of your pain. Our goal is to help you regain comfort, move freely, and get back to living without the constant strain on your jaw.
Understanding Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction
The TMJ, or temporomandibular joint, is what lets your lower jaw move smoothly when you talk, chew, or yawn.
Jaw pain, tension, or clicking can come from tight chewing muscles, strained ligaments, or changes in the joint itself. At Sethi Virdi DDS, we take the time to uncover what’s really causing your discomfort so we can create a TMJ treatment plan that’s designed just for you—helping you feel relief and move comfortably again.

Effective TMJ Solutions for Long-Term Jaw Pain Relief
Occlusal Splints & Night Guards
Occlusal splints and night guards gently protect your jaw by reducing grinding and clenching. They keep your teeth slightly apart, allowing your jaw muscles to relax and easing tension.
Many patients notice less discomfort, better sleep, and protection for their teeth. Night guards also help prevent enamel damage, tooth fractures, and sensitivity, keeping your smile strong and comfortable.
Bite Adjustments
An uneven bite can strain your jaw and cause discomfort or damage to your TMJ. By helping your teeth align properly, we can ease jaw pain, reduce pressure, and protect both your teeth and joints.
Sometimes orthodontic treatment is the best solution to correct bite issues, while in other cases, we can gently reshape teeth to relieve pressure and improve comfort.
Dental Restorations
An incomplete bite can cause TMJ problems because it makes chewing difficult and can lead to teeth shifting over time. This often happens if you have missing, worn, or damaged teeth that no longer meet properly, affecting your jaw’s comfort and function.
Physical Therapy Exercises
Targeted physical therapy exercises can help strengthen and stretch your jaw muscles while correcting how your jaw moves. Practising these exercises consistently can ease muscle tension, improve your jaw’s range of motion, and provide lasting relief, while also reducing the risk of further TMJ damage.
Stress Management Techniques
Stress can make TMJ pain worse, especially if you tend to clench your jaw. Learning to relax and manage stress helps reduce tension in your head and neck muscles, providing both physical relief and mental comfort. Incorporating stress management techniques is often key to long-term TMJ relief.
