UNDERSTANDING TMJ

TMJ Care Explained

The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to your skull, and problems here can cause significant jaw pain, chronic headaches, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth, among other symptoms.
Grinding and clenching can also wear down teeth over time. Treatment focuses on easing joint strain and protecting your smile, so discomfort improves and your teeth stay shielded from further damage.

How a Nightguard Helps

A custom nightguard realigns the jaw during sleep and reduces tension on the joint, which may relieve jaw pain and daytime headaches linked to the condition.
