Ease Your Pain With a Custom Nightguard
Visiting our office for a dental exam is the best way to learn if teeth grinding is contributing to your TMJ problems. Your dentist will check for inflammation of the joints that connect your jaw to your skull and for signs of wear and tear on your teeth.
Millions of people clench their jaw or grind their teeth while they are sleeping. This puts excess pressure on your joints that can strain your jaw and harm your teeth. If we see signs of trouble, we can make an impression of your teeth. The impression will be used to create a personalized nightguard that you will wear while you sleep.
This oral appliance will:
- Fit better and more comfortably than an over-the-counter product
- Ease the pressure on your TMJs
- Prevent chips, cracks, and breaks caused by clenching and grinding
- Spare you the need for crowns or other restorative care
A nightguard is just what you may need to end TMJ pain and other symptoms. In addition to the nightguard, you may also benefit from Botox® for additional pain relief. It relaxes your muscles to ease the uncomfortable tension on your jaw.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding
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. Then 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.
Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has low-interest payment plans.
It’s possible, yes. When your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) becomes inflamed, it will often trigger pain in other muscle groups in your head and neck. This can often be mistaken for migraines. Wearing a nightguard can allow your TMJ pain to heal and, as a result, give you relief from headaches.
