What is TMJ?

TMJ is the temporomandibular joint, which connects your lower jaw to your skull. TMJ or TMD includes several disorders related to the joint. Many people suffer from TMJ and its symptoms.

If you have TMJ, you may have pain in your face and neck, stiff jaw muscles, limited jaw movement, and a change in the alignment of your teeth. You might experience frequent headaches and other symptoms as well.

These symptoms can interfere with your everyday life. You may feel pain throughout your day or feel less rested. By treating TMJ, you can start feeling great again.

How Can Night Guards Help with TMJ?

Night guards are worn overnight to prevent you from grinding your teeth or to correct the position of your jaw. Some night guards are worn on both the top and bottom teeth, while others may fit over one set of teeth.

A night guard is custom-fit to your mouth so it will feel comfortable and secure. In most cases, night guards are worn at night, but we sometimes recommend wearing a mouth guard during the day as well.

Because night guards can prevent you from grinding your teeth and can correct the position of your jaw, you will have less facial pain, headaches, and other annoying symptoms. You may find that you sleep better, feel more rested, and can make it through your day without pain.

Contact us today to schedule a consultation with our team. After a consultation, we will determine the next steps for your treatment, including night guards, medication, and more. We are committed to helping you improve your sleep and your life as well.
