A TMJ disorder manifests from a variety of causes. It can be triggered by an injury, arthritis, or chronic teeth grinding.

Your dentist will create a customized mouthguard that you will wear at night, the most common time for teeth grinding. Wearing this regularly will allow your jaw to heal. You can easily take it with you when you travel, so you have relief wherever you go.
In some cases, TMJ issues stem from misaligned teeth. If your teeth aren’t lined up properly, it can lead to uneven pressure on your jaw. Your dentist may recommend orthodontics, such as traditional metal braces or clear, ceramic braces. While orthodontic treatment will require a larger investment of time, it will give you long term relief.

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.

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.
