Get Lasting Relief From Your TMJ Disorder

Millions of Americans are affected by a TMJ disorder (TMD). It can result from injury to your jaw, arthritis, teeth grinding, and more. If you are concerned your jaw pain is TMD, come in for a checkup. We’ve given countless patients relief from this painful jaw malfunction with a simple oral appliance. The appliance stops teeth grinding and clenching. These behaviors are often associated with a TMD.

Grinding and clenching happen the most while you sleep, so you’ll wear it at night when you go to bed. It will:

Prevent Dental Damage – This mouthguard acts as a barrier between your teeth to prevent damage to your enamel.
Encourage Healing – By stopping the pressure on your jaw, it will give it the chance to heal.
Be Easy to Wear – Your mouthguard is customized to fit you perfectly. You can wear it without being bothered by it.

However, a mouthguard is only one solution to your TMJ pain. If an alignment problem is triggering the disorder, our Invisalign treatment can help. The clear aligners will correct crooked or misaligned teeth that negatively affect your bite. Restorative treatments can help too. For example, we can use restorations like crowns to adjust your bite.

Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing.
