Relieving Your Pain With Our Easy TMJ & Teeth Grinding Solutions
Mouthguards
One simple form of TMJ treatment is a mouthguard for teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism). The mouthguards we use to treat TMD are similar to those worn by athletes except they are worn at night, when many people tend to grind their teeth unaware.
These custom night guards will move your jaw into the best position for it to relax. Plus, they will help prevent bruxism from causing damage to your teeth due to grinding and clenching while you sleep. Excessive teeth wear could require restorative dentistry to repair.
Bite Adjustment & Muscle Relaxation
Your bite may also need to be adjusted with “occlusal” treatment to provide relief. This involves correcting issues with how the surfaces of your teeth work together. We also offer facial rejuvenation treatments that, although typically considered cosmetic, can relax the facial muscles and be a tremendous help in soothing your TMJ-related pain!
Finding Out If You Require TMJ or Teeth Grinding Treatment
TMD can have many causes. Some of the most common include:
- Oral or facial injuries
- Teeth grinding or clenching
- Additional stress to your jaw joints
- Arthritis
These issues can lead to pain in your jaw, ears, face, neck, and even your shoulders. You also may not be able to comfortably open your mouth widely, and you could experience popping or clicking in your jaw joints when opening your mouth or chewing.
Other symptoms of TMD include headaches or migraines, difficulty hearing, earaches or ringing in your ears, toothaches, and dizziness.
