TMJ/TMD Treatment

Lasting Solutions for
Jaw Pain & Headaches

Chronic jaw pain, headaches, and bite problems don't have to control your life. Dr. Broberg's specialized training provides the advanced diagnosis and treatment most practices can't offer.

You're Not Alone

We Understand Your Frustration

If you've been living with jaw pain, chronic headaches, or a bite that just doesn't feel right, you know how exhausting it can be. You may have seen multiple doctors without getting answers. You may have been told it's "just stress" or to "just live with it."

You deserve better than that. TMJ disorders are real, they're complex, and they require a dentist with specialized training to diagnose and treat properly. That's exactly what Dr. Broberg provides.

Specialized Expertise

Advanced Training Few Dentists Have

Dr. Broberg is one of the few general dentists in Austin with advanced TMJ training from the Dawson Academy, Spear Education, and Arrowhead Dental Lab. This specialized education gives him a deep understanding of how the jaw joints, muscles, and teeth work together.

CBCT 3D Imaging

Detailed 3D views of your jaw joints reveal structural issues invisible on standard x-rays.

Tekscan Bite Analysis

Digital sensors measure the precise timing and force of your bite, identifying imbalances that cause joint stress.

Comprehensive Evaluation

A thorough assessment of muscles, joints, teeth, and bite mechanics to identify the root cause of your symptoms.

Recognize the Signs

TMJ/TMD Symptoms

Jaw pain or tenderness
Clicking or popping in the jaw joint
Chronic headaches or migraines
Facial pain or tenderness
Neck and shoulder tension
Difficulty chewing or opening your mouth
Ear pain or ringing (tinnitus)
Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)

If you're experiencing two or more of these symptoms, a TMJ evaluation could provide the answers you've been looking for.

Treatment Options

Tailored Solutions

Bite Adjustment

Precise recontouring of tooth surfaces to eliminate bite interferences that stress the jaw joint. Using Tekscan digital bite analysis, Dr. Broberg can identify and correct imbalances with pinpoint accuracy.

Orthotic Therapy

Custom-designed oral appliances that reposition the jaw to its optimal resting position, reducing muscle strain and joint stress. Orthotics are often the first line of treatment for TMJ disorders.

Invisalign for Bite Correction

For patients whose TMJ issues stem from misalignment, Invisalign can gradually shift teeth into positions that support a balanced, healthy bite — addressing the root cause of the problem.

Therapeutic Botox

Strategic Botox injections into overactive jaw muscles reduce clenching force, relieve tension headaches, and provide significant pain relief. Results typically last 3-4 months.

Custom Nightguards

Precision-fitted nightguards protect your teeth from grinding damage and reduce strain on the jaw joint during sleep — when many patients unconsciously clench hardest.

Full Mouth Rehabilitation

For some patients, TMJ symptoms are linked to a worn or unstable bite. Full mouth rehabilitation can rebuild proper function, improve bite balance, and reduce strain on the jaw joints and muscles.

Patient Reviews

What Our Patients Say

Just had a night guard made, after much convincing, I wish I had done it long ago. Thank you to this incredible staff at Broberg for being so patient and also persistent in helping me make this decision. I can already see the grind marks on the guard. I had no idea I was grinding my teeth at night. Thank you for walking me through the different warning signs that I wasn't noticing which were red flags to you and your team.

Dyana C. Geissinger

I compared providers around Dripping very carefully before selecting Dr. Broberg. I have been thoroughly impressed by the caliber of knowledge and practical guidance that Dr. Broberg and his entire staff have to offer. If you have never seen a dentist who uses the latest modern equipment and medical software you are certain to be very satisfied after your first visit here. Not only do I now have amazingly detailed 3D imagery in my records, but I have also been able to follow through on the power bleaching and deep cleaning that I had promised myself for several years.

Matt Smith

Dentists were my least favorite people until I met Dr. Broberg. He is patient and gentle and takes the time to listen. Coming from one who has dental-anxiety, it means everything!
