Say Goodbye to TMJ Pain & Jaw Tenderness

You probably don’t put much thought into your jaw joints when everything is working normally. When they become inflamed, however, you can suffer a great deal. When these temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are aching, that may be all you think about. Each time you open and close your mouth may create additional pain.  Researchers aren’t certain of all the causes behind TMJ disorder, but they do know that teeth grinding is both a cause and symptom of it.

That’s why our treatment focuses on keeping your teeth apart. Dr. Bickler will use a deprogrammer for precise diagnosis of your problem. Then, he will have a custom TMJ night guard made. It will:

• Move your lower jaw gently forward
• Relieve tension on your TMJs so they can begin to heal
• Keep you from grinding your teeth while sleeping, helping you avoid the need for restorative dentistry to repair the damage

In addition, since teeth grinding can cause headaches, less teeth grinding often means fewer and less severe headaches.
