Dr. Luis Dancausse on TMJ treatment

TMJ disorder is a problem in the jaw joint, which is right in front of your ear there. Typically, it's caused by clinching or grinding, and when we see a patient that has that and we believe that's where it's coming from, we might get some images to check the jaw joint itself. As long as everything looks okay there, it’s typically related to clinching or grinding your teeth, or bruxing, and the first line of treatment for that is making a night guard. We take some molds of your teeth, make some custom models of your mouth, and then the lab fabricates an appliance that's worn to help with that.

  • Wake up feeling refreshed and without jaw soreness
  • Avoid damage to teeth caused by grinding
  • Experience fewer headaches
  • Feel less muscle pain and tension

If you’re ready to get relief from daily nuisances associated with jaw pain, call 704-766-8662 today so Dr. Brian McNulty or Dr. Luis Dancausse can examine your smile and recommend swift treatment.

Take The Pain Away With A Custom Mouthguard

Dr. McNulty or Dr. Dancausse will take a look at your mouth’s condition to determine if you’re dealing with TMJ or teeth grinding issues. If you are, a customized mouthguard may solve all of your problems.

This mouthguard will be made in a lab to fit comfortably in your mouth and relieve tension in your face and jaw. That kind of muscular stress can also cause discomfort in your neck, head, and shoulders. Your mouthguard will also prevent teeth grinding, which wears down your teeth, making them sensitive and vulnerable to decay, cracks, and other kinds of damage.

Understand What Causes TMJ Or Teeth Grinding Issues

“TMJ” actually refers to your jaw joints, or temporomandibular joints. When stress is placed on these joints, it leads to temporomandibular joint dysfunction, or TMD. TMD is what causes the discomfort you’re experiencing, as well as teeth grinding at night. Involuntarily teeth grinding while you sleep is a serious condition known as bruxism. It can cause dental pain and possibly require restorative dentistry.

The causes of TMD and teeth grinding are often difficult to pinpoint. Arthritis and injuries have been known to lead to both. Whatever the cause of your condition, our doctors have solutions to help relieve your pain.

Call 704-766-8662 for TMJ treatment in Charlotte, or . We’ll end your TMJ issues so you can enjoy pain-free days again.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding

Does TMJ treatment work?

Yes, it does. We have helped more patients than we can count with our TMJ treatment. You might be surprised by how a simple oral appliance worn while you sleep can make such a difference. It gently changes the resting position of your lower jaw to relieve tension on your jaw joints. You experience less teeth grinding, less jaw pain, and reduced tension in your face, neck, and shoulders.

How long is TMJ treatment?

You may need ongoing treatment for a TMJ disorder. Fortunately, by wearing a simple appliance, you can prevent teeth grinding, a common cause of TMJ problems. We have helped many patients find the solution to this particularly painful problem. Today, they are enjoying their lives with fewer headaches, earaches, jaw pain, and jaw stiffness. Contact us to schedule a consultation.

Will insurance cover TMJ treatment?

That depends on your insurance provider and plan. TMJ disorders are a health issue that should be treated. You can count on our team to do our part to make sure you get the full benefits covered by your policy. You also can finance your treatment through CareCredit or LendingClub, or you can take advantage of our other payment options.
