The Root Cause: Your Bad Bite
TMJ disorder usually stems from a misaligned bite that forces your jaw joints and muscles to work overtime. This constant strain creates a cascade of problems throughout your head, neck, and teeth.
A healthy bite distributes force evenly. A bad bite creates pressure points that damage teeth, strain muscles, and inflame joints. Without treatment, the damage gets progressively worse.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this treatment painful or invasive?
No—TMJ Bite Stabilizer Therapy is completely non-invasive and painless. There's no surgery, no injections, and no downtime. You simply wear a comfortable appliance that gradually guides your jaw into proper alignment.
How do I know if I'm a candidate for this treatment?
If you experience jaw pain, clicking, headaches, worn teeth, or any TMJ symptoms, you're likely a candidate. Dr. Han will perform a comprehensive evaluation including bite analysis and jaw joint assessment to determine if TMJ Bite Stabilizer Therapy is right for you. Schedule a consultation to find out.
Can TMJ disorder come back after treatment?
When you complete the full treatment protocol, results are typically long-lasting. Some patients may need occasional maintenance therapy, especially if they experience high stress or trauma to the jaw. Dr. Han will create a long-term management plan tailored to your needs.
What happens if I stop treatment?
TMJ Bite Stabilizer Therapy is completely reversible. However, stopping treatment before completion means your symptoms will likely return as your jaw reverts to its problematic position. Most patients find the relief so significant they're motivated to complete treatment.
How is this different from a regular night guard?
Night guards only protect teeth from grinding damage. TMJ Bite Stabilizers actually reposition your jaw to correct bite alignment, addressing the cause of TMJ disorder rather than just protecting against symptoms. This therapeutic approach provides lasting relief instead of temporary protection.
Will insurance cover TMJ Bite Stabilizer Therapy?
Most PPO insurance plans provide some coverage for TMJ treatment. We'll verify your benefits and explain your coverage before starting treatment. We also offer CareCredit financing and payment plans to make treatment affordable.
What exactly is a TMJ Bite Stabilizer?
It's a custom-made, clear acrylic appliance that fits over your teeth like a retainer. The device realigns your bite to eliminate stress on your jaw joints, muscles, and teeth. Unlike soft night guards that only protect teeth, this hard appliance actually corrects the root cause of your TMJ problems.
Do I have to wear it all the time?
Initially, you'll wear it most of the day and night for optimal results. As your symptoms improve and your bite stabilizes, Dr. Han will adjust your wearing schedule. Many patients eventually only need it at night for maintenance.
How quickly will I feel relief from TMJ pain?
Most patients experience immediate relief after receiving their TMJ Bite Stabilizer. Within the first few days of wearing the appliance, you'll notice reduced jaw pain, fewer headaches, and easier chewing. Full results develop over several weeks as your jaw adjusts to its proper position.
