Avoid Dental Problems & Experience Pain Relief

10 MILLION More than 10 million people in the U.S. have TMJ disorder. Source.
Your TMJs are the temporomandibular joints that are on either side of your jaw. They function like hinges, giving you the ability to bite, chew, talk, and laugh. When this area becomes inflamed or injured, it can become dysfunctional. A common cause of this problem is teeth grinding. That’s where we come in! Dr. Moore’s priority is preventive care. If you show signs of this disorder, he can create a custom night guard that protects your smile. It’s our goal to stop problems before they lead to a need for restorative treatment.

Your night guard will lessen or stop your grinding and clenching. This activity commonly occurs during the night while you sleep. Wearing a custom oral appliance at night can:

  • Protect Your Smile – Your night guard will protect your teeth from the pressure of grinding and clenching. You’ll avoid cracking, chipping, or dislodging teeth. As a result, your smile will stay in good condition, and you’ll maintain natural oral function.
  • Minimize Jaw Pain – You’ll experience pain relief. Your jaw will have a chance to heal, especially if you wear your night guard consistently. You can enjoy long-lasting success that stops your discomfort.
  • Restore Your Overall Well-Being – Wearing your night guard means you’ll wake up without pain. You’ll feel refreshed and ready to take on the day.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding
Does TMJ treatment work?

TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.

Is TMJ causing my headaches?

It’s possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.

What are the signs of a TMJ disorder?

If you’ve been experiencing persistent jaw discomfort, difficulty chewing, or unusual sounds when moving your mouth, you may be dealing with a TMJ disorder. These conditions can cause a range of symptoms, including facial pain, headaches, and even ear discomfort. We encourage you to visit our practice if you’re noticing any of these signs. Early intervention can make a significant difference in managing TMJ issues and improving your overall oral health.
