Dyskinesia
For Patients
Is Dyskinesia From TMJ Disrupting Your Jaw Function?
Involuntary jaw movements—such as twitching, shifting, or spasms—can be a sign of or linked to dyskinesia caused by TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction. These abnormal movements may interfere with speaking, chewing, and overall jaw control, and they can be both frustrating and uncomfortable. At the TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Montana, we specialize in diagnosing and treating the root causes of TMJ-related dyskinesia, helping restore natural jaw function and improve quality of life.
We Can Help Reduce TMJ-Related Dyskinesia
Our skilled team offers a targeted approach to managing dyskinesia associated with TMJ disorders. We focus on the underlying neuromuscular imbalances that contribute to these symptoms, aiming to bring control, comfort, and stability back to your jaw.
Here’s how we support you:
- Comprehensive Evaluation: We begin with an in-depth assessment of your jaw movement, muscle activity, and joint alignment. Understanding the specific nature of your dyskinesia allows us to craft a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Advanced Diagnostic Tools: We use cutting-edge technology to analyze the function of the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. This helps us identify the neurological and biomechanical factors contributing to dyskinetic movements.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: Whether it involves neuromuscular therapy, custom TMJ appliances, myofunctional exercises, or collaboration with neurological specialists, we create a holistic strategy to reduce involuntary movements and restore jaw stability.
- Empowered, Patient-Centered Care:Education is a key part of healing. We ensure you understand how TMJ dysfunction can lead to dyskinesia and guide you through every step of treatment, so you feel confident and supported.
- Lasting Comfort and Control: Our goal isn’t just short-term relief—it’s long-term improvement. With consistent care, many patients experience a noticeable reduction in dyskinetic symptoms and a dramatic boost in comfort and control.

Rae Tcherneshoff2020-11-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My treatment has been nothing short of life changing. I have struggled with TMJ issues for about 10 years and it got much worse in the last year. After treatment here, I can now chew on both sides of my mouth, open my jaw all the way, no more clicking or popping, and finally no pain or ringing ears. I was skeptical at first, but Dr. VanDkye REALLY knows what she’s talking about and all the women in the office are so helpful! Josie Gordon2019-08-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr VanDyke is so knowledgeable and well educated in Sleep Disorders.

They are an incredible group of women😇☀️😃 Cheri Waring2019-07-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started with TMJ &Sleep Therapy Center in June this year. I was grinding teeth with mouth pieces made at the dentist offices that didn't help with my other issues. HEADACHES, not sleeping, jaw popping, pain in right ear, sinus issues. I was hoping only for help with headaches and sleep, and grinding. I recieved my more than ever expected. I sleep through the night, headache free, popping gone. Mouth pieces are so different than others I have had made. They truly gave me my life back. Thank you! Norman G.2019-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The staff is wonderful, and so knowledgeable. My wife had been suffering for a long time with jaw pain, none of the medical doctors were able to help her. Finally, after treatment she has had no more pain and life is good! Lenora Snider2019-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very helpful, knowledgeable, friendly.
