Stop Teeth Grinding to Feel Better

Did you know that 85 percent of people who grind their teeth suffer other health issues? Many aren’t even aware they’re doing it until a partner notices or symptoms develop. This condition, known as bruxism, often contributes to TMJ disorders and can lead to serious oral health issues if left untreated.

When you visit our office for TMJ treatment, we carefully evaluate several potential causes:

  • Stress-related muscle tension that triggers unconscious clenching and grinding
  • Misaligned bite patterns that put excessive pressure on your jaw joint
  • Arthritis or previous injury to the temporomandibular joint
  • Sleep disorders that may contribute to nighttime grinding

Using advanced diagnostic techniques and holistic treatment approaches, we create custom solutions that not only protect your teeth but also address the underlying causes of your TMJ disorder.

Most often, your dentist will provide you with a custom-made night guard. You’ll wear it at night, and it will prevent you from grinding your teeth. It also helps ease pressure on your jaw. If a misaligned bite is contributing to your TMJ symptoms, we may recommend Invisalign treatment.

Early intervention is crucial. Addressing TMJ issues now can help you avoid costly repairs and chronic pain in the future.
