TMJ disorders not only cause discomfort, but they can also put your smile at risk. Clenching or grinding your teeth can lead to excessive wear and tear and potentially lead to dislodged, cracked, or chipped teeth. Whether you noticed symptoms at home, or your dentist spots signs during a checkup, your dentist may recommend a custom-made mouthguard if a TMJ disorder is detected. It will give you relief from your uncomfortable symptoms and protect your smile.
Our practice offers both in-house and trusted lab-made mouthguards. We’ll make sure that your high-quality, comfortable appliance is tailored to your specific needs. This bite guard will provide:
In some cases, TMJ troubles are linked to sleep apnea. If you snore, have breathing difficulties during the night, or show other symptoms of apnea, we can help. Your dentist can arrange a convenient at-home sleep test to determine if you suffer from a sleep disorder. If so, a custom-made mouthguard can help you breathe easily throughout the night. You’ll sleep better and feel better too.

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 your jaw can heal.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.
This varies depending on your insurance policy. TMJ disorders are a health issue that should be treated, and our team will do our part to make sure you get the full benefits covered by your dental plan. You also should know that we offer flexible payment options, including CareCredit financing, so you can manage the cost of your care.
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. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.
