TMJ Treatment/Teeth Grinding

Get a TMJ appliance specifically designed to treat your symptoms and provide lasting relief. This personalized device is crafted to fit your mouth perfectly. You can expect maximum comfort and effectiveness.

The process for getting your new appliance begins with a thorough examination. We'll also take detailed impressions of your teeth.

We carefully analyze your bite and jaw movement. We'll design an appliance that positions your jaw in the optimal healing position. A professional lab will custom-manufacture it to ensure the highest quality.

Your TMJ appliance will help you feel better. It will reduce pressure on your jaw joints and surrounding muscles. It also prevents teeth grinding and clenching, which often worsen TMJ symptoms.

By protecting your teeth from grinding damage, the appliance helps you avoid treatment like crowns or bonding to repair your teeth later.

TMJ disorders cause a variety of symptoms that impact your daily life. Common signs include jaw pain, especially when chewing or yawning, and clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth.

You may also experience headaches, particularly in the morning, and facial pain that may extend to the neck and shoulders.

Additional symptoms include difficulty opening your mouth fully. Your jaw may lock in open or closed positions. You may have ear pain or ringing without an ear infection.

You might notice your bite feels different or your teeth don't fit together properly when closing your mouth. Muscle fatigue in the jaw area is also common, especially after eating or talking for extended periods.
