Teeth Grinding and TMJ
Many people do not realize that their teeth grinding habit may be triggering TMJ. If you have the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, you may be wearing your teeth down and causing bite problems. A misaligned bite and worn or loose teeth can trigger jaw pain and interfere with the functioning of your jaw. We can help you break the habit of grinding your teeth by recommending lifestyle changes and prevent tooth damage by fitting you with a night guard.
TMJ Treatments and Therapies
Our doctors have extensive experience treating patients with TMJ and can put together a comprehensive treatment plan that will alleviate pain. We typically recommend an occlusal adjustment (bite adjustment) to ensure the teeth are coming together properly. Other proven treatment options and therapies include:
