tMJ & nightguards
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can affect far more than the jaw itself, often causing headaches, facial pain, jaw tension, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty chewing comfortably.
At True Aesthetic Prosthodontics, we take a comprehensive approach to TMJ care, focusing on identifying the underlying causes of dysfunction and developing personalized treatment plans designed to improve comfort, restore function, and support long-term oral health. Our goal is to help patients find lasting relief while protecting the health of their teeth, muscles, and jaw joints.
TMJ treatment is about more than managing symptoms - it's about restoring harmony between the teeth, muscles, and jaw joints to improve comfort, function, and quality of life.
Many patients unknowingly grind or clench their teeth during sleep, placing excessive stress on the teeth, jaw joints, and surrounding muscles. Custom night guards are designed to protect your smile from the damaging effects of bruxism while helping to reduce muscle tension, jaw discomfort, and tooth wear. Fabricated for a precise fit, these appliances provide a comfortable and effective solution for preserving your oral health and preventing long-term damage.
