Get Relief With an Oral Appliance
We know how frustrating and exhausting TMJ pain can be. Our experienced oral surgeons understand that every patient's experience is unique, which is why we create custom-designed appliances to address your TMJ disorder.
Digital scanning technology allows us to create a precise 3-D model of your teeth and jaw. Instead of messy traditional impressions, we will use a small handheld scanner that captures every detail of your mouth in minutes. This digital approach ensures a perfectly fitted oral appliance that matches the unique contours of your jaw.
We will carefully adjust your appliance to reduce tension and provide optimal support for your jaw joints. The device works by slightly repositioning your jaw, helping to relax overworked muscles. This custom solution is crafted to provide maximum comfort and effective relief from TMJ symptoms.
Protect Your Smile From Grinding
Your custom-fitted TMJ appliance will also act as a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, preventing the destructive effects of teeth grinding. By creating a cushioning layer, the device stops your teeth from grinding against each other, which can cause serious enamel damage and wear over time.
The appliance is designed to distribute bite forces evenly, reducing the intense pressure that can crack or chip your teeth. This protective approach preserves your enamel and provides both immediate and long-term protection for your dental health.

Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ Treatment/Teeth Grinding
Does TMJ treatment work?
Easing pressure on your jaw is the key to relieving TMJ pain. Our team can make you an appliance that gently moves your jaw into a position that keeps pressure off your jaw. The appliance also keeps you from clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth, two behaviors that trigger TMJ pain.
How long does TMJ treatment take?
You may need ongoing treatment for a TMJ disorder. Fortunately, by wearing a simple appliance, you can relieve tension on your jaw joints and prevent teeth grinding. We have helped many patients find the solution to their pain. Today, they are enjoying their lives with fewer headaches, earaches, jaw pain, and jaw stiffness.
What are the signs of a TMJ disorder?
Jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing are several common signs of a TMJ disorder. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to contact us for help.
