WHAT IS TMD?
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) encompass a range of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and the muscles controlling jaw movement.
Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, limited jaw movement, and headaches.
Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are rarely caused by just one thing. Jaw discomfort, headaches, clenching, popping, and muscle tension can be influenced by a variety of factors—including bite alignment, airway, stress, diet, medications, sleep quality, posture, inflammation, and daily habits like clenching and grinding.
While the exact cause is often challenging to isolate, factors such as jaw injury, stress, airway issues, and clenching or grinding teeth may contribute.
Working in Harmony for You
At BOCA, Dr. Erin approaches temporomandibular disorders (TMD) with the understanding that the jaw joint is a dynamic system deeply connected to the rest of the body.
When appropriate, Dr. Erin collaborates with a trusted network of exceptional providers, combining each clinician’s expertise with thoughtful, evidence-based therapies to help relieve tension, restore balance, and support lasting relief.
Together, we’ll help you move, breathe, sleep, and smile in greater harmony—with your body, your mind, and yourself.

THE BOCA DIFFERENCE
When your jaw is out of balance, it can ripple through your whole body—creating tension, fatigue, and discomfort that disrupt your daily flow. That’s why we embrace a whole-body, heart-centered, collaborative approach to healing—one that honors the deep connection between the mind, body, mouth and breath.
Dr. Erin takes the time to sit down with you, listen to your story, and uncover the lifestyle factors that may be contributing to your symptoms, including teeth grinding, clenching, stress, sleep disturbances, airway concerns, posture, exercise habits, medications, diet and more.
By understanding how your body functions as a whole, we can create a treatment plan that addresses the root causes of discomfort, not just the symptoms.
BOTOX® FOR TMD RELIEF
Botox® (botulinum toxin) can be an effective tool for patients who experience jaw tension, clenching, and overactive chewing muscles.
By gently relaxing targeted muscles—most commonly the masseter and temporalis—Botox can help:
Reduce jaw pain and muscle soreness
Minimize headaches related to clenching
Decrease grinding and clenching intensity
Improve comfort and range of motion
Protect teeth from excessive wear
When used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan, Botox can provide meaningful relief while we address the underlying contributors to your symptoms.
