Relieve Your Jaw Pain & Find Relief From TMJ Problems

10 MILLION More than 10 million people in the U.S. have TMJ disorder. Source.
There are numerous causes for your TMJ pain. Teeth grinding, injuries to the jaw, misalignment, and arthritis are just a few. You may experience symptoms such as clicking or popping sounds when you chew, increased tooth sensitivity, and pain in your jaw, neck, and head. If you notice these symptoms, or your dentist spots increased wear and tear on your teeth, you may benefit from TMJ treatment.

Creating a customized mouthguard is our most popular solution for treating your TMJ disorder. It will:

  • Provide cushioning between your teeth to protect them from damage
  • Relieve tension in your TMJs, reducing pain and discomfort
  • Improve jaw mobility and give you long-term relief
  • Fit you perfectly, ensuring greater compliance

Your dentist will draw up a plan for your bite guard using digital scans of your teeth. This information is sent out to a trusted outside lab that will create your oral appliance. Once it’s ready, you will return to our office to pick it up. Your dentist will also discuss helpful tips for lessening your TMJ symptoms.

In addition to traditional mouthguards, clear aligners can play a significant role in managing your symptoms. Properly aligned teeth distribute biting and chewing forces more evenly, reducing stress on the jaw joints. Your dentist can create a treatment plan that corrects the positioning of your bite. It can help treat the root cause of some of your TMJ issues.
