TMJ disorder (TMJD) is a common condition that impacts the function and comfort of the paired temporomandibular joint that anchors both sides of your mandible to your skull.

How We Treat TMJ Disorder

Depending on the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder, we may recommend removable appliance therapy. 

We digitally measure and custom prescribe a variety of different appliances, including simple night guards, anterior deprogrammers, occlusal splints, orthotics, retainers, and sleep apnea appliances. Any of these can help prevent tooth wear damage, but many offer therapeutic benefits that patients benefit from. Shifting your jaw into a more comfortable position can help relieve muscle or joint pain and tension headaches, or improve breathing.

In some cases, changing the shapes and heights of the teeth by selectively polishing or adding to them can help balance the way the teeth fit together, allowing for a more comfortable bite position for the patient.
