TMJ Defined

The TMJ is a critical hinge connecting your jawbone to your skull, enabling you to speak, chew, and yawn. This joint’s unique structure allows for both hinging and sliding movements, making it one of the most complex joints in the human body. 

However, this complexity also makes the TMJ particularly vulnerable to a range of disorders, often resulting from factors like:

  • Jaw Injury: Injuries from accidents or impact sports can lead to TMJ disorders by damaging the joint or the muscles that control jaw movement.
  • Excessive Jaw Clenching: Often linked to stress or tension, clenching can strain the TMJ and surrounding muscles, potentially resulting in a disorder.
  • Arthritis: Some forms of arthritis, such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis, can inflame the TMJ, contributing to discomfort and mobility issues.
  • Misalignment of the Teeth: Misalignment can disrupt proper jaw function and may lead to TMJ disorders by causing an uneven distribution of bite forces.

Damage or dysfunction of this joint can lead to significant pain, difficulty in moving the jaw, and an array of other debilitating symptoms. Your TMJ is crucial to your overall oral and physical health, so keeping it happy and healthy is a must.

OUR PROCESS

At V Dental Health & Aesthetics, we take a highly effective approach to treating TMJ: custom dental night guards. Night guards help relax the facial muscles by keeping the jaw slightly open, relieving pressure on the jaw joints. These accessories are worn primarily during sleep and work wonders by reducing night-time teeth grinding and clenching, which are both notorious for stressing your TMJ. 

Creating your personalized mouth guard involves a simple process where we take an impression of your teeth, ensuring a fit that’s as unique to your smile as possible. The best part? It’s an easy, non-invasive solution that fits seamlessly into your nightly routine, offering a silent guardian against TMJ discomfort while you dream.

Protect Your Teeth

In addition to protecting your TMJ, our night guards also help protect your teeth. These accessories act as a barrier between the upper and lower teeth, minimizing the risk of wear and tear on your enamel. With consistent use, night guards safeguard your pearly whites from premature wear, potential cracks, and chips. Plus, they help maintain alignment, ensuring that your orthodontic work is not undone by grinding your teeth at night.
