Take the Pain Away With a Custom Mouthguard

“TMJ” refers to your jaw joints, or temporomandibular joints. When stress is placed on these joints, it leads to TMJ disorder, or TMD. TMD is what causes the discomfort you’re experiencing.

The causes of TMD and teeth grinding are often difficult to pinpoint. However, whatever the cause of your condition, our dentists have solutions to help relieve your pain.

Here is what to expect when you come into our office with this issue:

  • Your dentist will perform an exam of your mouth to determine if you’re dealing with TMJ or teeth grinding issues. We will also look for any damage to your teeth, which is a problem related to involuntary teeth grinding, or bruxism. If necessary, we’ll discuss any restorative treatments with you.
  • We will take a digital X-ray of your jaw to ensure there are no additional concerns.
  • If we find your pain is a result of teeth grinding or a TMJ disorder, we will recommend a customized mouthguard to help resolve this problem.
  • This mouthguard will be made in a lab to fit comfortably in your mouth and relieve tension in your face and jaw. It will also relieve discomfort in your neck, head, and shoulders. Your mouthguard will prevent teeth grinding, which wears down your teeth and makes them vulnerable to decay, cracks, and other kinds of damage.

For TMJ treatment in Charlotte, call 704-766-8662 for an appointment, or schedule online. We’ll end your TMJ issues so you can enjoy pain-free days again.
