Protect Your Teeth With a Custom TMJ Guard

When it comes to treating TMJ disorders, one of the most effective and least invasive methods is the use of a custom-fitted mouthguard. This is a simple yet powerful device that can make a world of difference in your daily comfort. Dr. Hussain will design your custom bite guard using digital scanning technology.

You’ll wear yours during the night, when you sleep. It’s the most common time of day for teeth grinding or jaw clenching. You’ll experience numerous benefits:

  • Perfect Fit – Your dentist uses digital impressions to create a mouthguard that fits you perfectly. This ensures maximum comfort and effectiveness.
  • Pain Relief – By cushioning your teeth and jaw, the mouthguard eases pressure and allows your TMJs to heal naturally.
  • Superior Protection – Without a mouthguard, grinding and clenching can cause dental damage like chips and cracks. Our durable mouthguards offer better protection than over-the-counter options, safeguarding your smile for years to come.
  • Easy Care – Maintaining your mouthguard is simple. A gentle brush with mild soap keeps it in top condition.

In some cases, we may recommend additional treatments like Invisalign if misalignment is contributing to your TMJ issues. Dr. Hussain will work with you to determine the best approach for your unique situation.
