A Splint Will Ease Your TMJ Pain
No one knows exactly what causes TMJ disorders (TMDs). However, it’s common for those with TMDs to clench their jaw and/or grind their teeth. These habits, which are often linked to stress, frequently occur during sleep – so you may not even be aware of them. Our team looks for evidence of these behaviors during your exams. In addition to irritating your TMJ, they can damage your teeth so badly that you may require restorative dentistry.
Dr. Sobieraj may suggest a splint that will:
- Move your jaw into a position that relieves pressure on your TMJ
- Improve the alignment of your bite
- Help you enjoy a better night’s rest and wake without jaw pain
- Prevent damaged enamel, dental sensitivity, and other issues related to grinding (called bruxism)
