TMJ Guard For Grinding And Jaw Pain

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your Skull to help you perform the very important function necessary to speak or chew. Unlike your other joints, this unique joint moves like a sliding hinge, so because of its unique movement, the joint can fall out of alignment and become inflamed.

Temporomandibular inflammation can cause all kinds of other problems:

  • Unexplained sensitivity in the teeth
  • Congestion/Ringing in the ears(tinnitus)
  • Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints
  • Aching pain in and around your ear
  • Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
  • Aching facial pain
  • Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
  • Headaches/Migraines

Rather than ordering a generic mouthguard online, we strongly recommend consulting with a dentist. This way the dentist can take an impression of your teeth to create a mouthguard of the right fit and features to treat your specific condition(s). Every mouth is different, and a fitted mouthguard reflects that. One size does not fit all! The custom-fitted mouthguard will ensure that you do not cause further damage to your teeth and jaw.

Benefits of using a mouthguard:

  • Prevents Tooth Damage (Tooth Grinding)
  • Protects Against future Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ).
  • Reduces Headaches.
  • Improves Sleeping Patterns
  • Less Tension and Less Pain
  • Prevention of Snoring
