Reclaim Healthy & Painless Jaw Movement by Treating Your TMJ Issues

Common triggers for TMJ disorders include unconscious teeth grinding (bruxism), regular jaw clenching, past injuries, or arthritis. If you’re experiencing jaw pain, persistent headaches, clicking sounds when opening or closing your mouth, or tooth sensitivity, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder.

Your dentist will start your treatment by crafting you a custom-designed night guard. It’s particularly beneficial if you grind or clench your teeth during sleep. However, your TMJ treatment plan will be as unique as your condition. After a comprehensive exam, your dentist will determine whether additional treatments, like restorative procedures, could help address the root cause of your TMJ problems.

With a night guard, you can expect numerous benefits:

  • Relief From Jaw Pain – Your guard creates a protective barrier between your teeth that prevents grinding and clenching while you sleep. With regular use, your jaw can heal and your painful symptoms will go away.
  • Comfortable Oral Appliance – You can rest easy with a perfectly fitted appliance that’s designed using state-of-the-art digital scanning. It’s far more comfortable than any store-bought option. This increases your likelihood of greater compliance for more effective results.
  • Avoid Dental Damage – You’ll save time, money, and stress on future dental work by protecting your teeth from the wear and tear, chipping, and other damage caused by nightly grinding.
