Sound familiar?

The pain often isn't where the problem is.

These are the six things we hear most. Each one can trace back to the muscles and joints of the jaw.

The TMJ Check

Is your jaw behind it? Find out in 60 seconds.

Seven quick questions show how many signs of jaw strain you have and which steps of the system would matter most for you. Bring your answers to your free scan.

Start the TMJ Check

Question 1 of 7TMJ Check

Do you wake up with jaw soreness, headaches or facial tension?

Told everything looks normal?

One tool can't fix a problem with many causes.

TMJ disorder is a muscle, joint and nervous system problem. It rarely has a single cause, so a single treatment often falls short.

The usual approach

A night guard, a bite adjustment, or “wait and see”
Treats the symptom, not what's driving it
Leaves overworked muscles and inflammation alone
One plan for everyone

The TMJ Reset System

Measures your muscles first with an EMG scan
Calms muscles and inflammation before correcting the bite
Retrains habits so relief lasts

Step zero · Complimentary

See how hard your jaw muscles are working.

An EMG scan is a simple, painless test that measures the electrical activity in your jaw muscles at rest. Many patients are surprised to find the source isn't where they feel the pain.

“TMJ disorder doesn't have to control your life. Relief is possible, and it starts with a better approach.”

Dr. Anton Conklin, Clinical Director. Dr. Conklin built the TMJ Reset protocols around one idea: understand your TMJ disorder first, then treat it with modern science and respect for how the body heals.

Common questions

Is the EMG scan really free?

Yes. Your first EMG scan is complimentary and comes with no obligation. If your readings show excessive strain, we'll explain the next step.

Does the scan hurt?

No. Small sensors rest on the skin over your jaw muscles. There are no needles, and it takes a few minutes.

Is Botox for TMJ the same as cosmetic Botox?

It's the same medicine used for a different goal: relaxing jaw muscles that are working too hard. Placement and dosing are planned around your muscles and your readings.

What is PRF?

Platelet-rich fibrin is made from a small sample of your own blood. It's used to support your body's natural healing and calm inflammation in the joint.

I already have a night guard. Why didn't it work?

A guard protects teeth and can reduce load, but on its own it doesn't calm overworked muscles, treat inflammation, or retrain habits. In the TMJ Reset System, the splint is step three, after the muscles and joint have settled.

How long until I feel better?

Everyone is different. The core program runs four weeks of visits, and we re-measure at week four so you can see the change for yourself.

My ears ring. Could that be my jaw?

It can be, because the jaw joint sits directly in front of the ear and shares muscles and structures with it. Rule out medical ear conditions first; if everything checks out, the jaw is worth evaluating.

Does insurance cover treatment?

Coverage varies. At your plan visit we'll review what your insurance may cover, along with payment plans and HSA or FSA options.

Questions people ask before starting

It's normal to want to be sure.

How do I know it will work for me?

Your plan is built from your own readings, not a template. We measure again at week four, so you and your doctor can see what changed instead of guessing.

Is the treatment invasive?

The program is designed to be minimally invasive or non-invasive. Laser therapy, splints and physical therapy involve no needles. Injections such as Botox and PRF use fine needles and take minutes.

How much time will it take?

The core program runs four weeks, with laser sessions twice a week and short follow-ups. Home exercises take a few minutes a day.

Can I afford it?

We offer monthly payment plans and can use HSA or FSA funds where eligible. We'll also check what your insurance may cover before you decide.

Do I have to decide at the visit?

No. You'll leave with your plan in writing. Many people bring a partner or family member so they can decide together.

What if I wait?

Some people's symptoms stay the same; for others, clenching and grinding keep wearing teeth and straining the joint over time. Your readings help you weigh that with real information.

Bring your person

Decisions are easier together.

You're welcome to bring a partner or family member to your plan visit. They'll hear the same explanation you do and can ask their own questions.
