Wear a Custom Oral Appliance for TMJ Relief

TMJ troubles can stem from various sources. An injury to your jaw, arthritis, or even the nightly grind of your teeth can all cause this disorder. Whatever’s causing your discomfort, our practice has an easy and simple solution for you.

Dr. Anderson can design a custom oral appliance that will soothe your aching jaw. It will:

  • Reduce Jaw Tension – The appliance acts as a buffer between your upper and lower teeth, allowing your jaw muscles to relax.
  • Protect Your Teeth – By minimizing grinding and clenching, the guard helps preserve your tooth enamel and prevent further damage.
  • Stop Associated Symptoms – You may experience relief from headaches and facial pain after consistent use.
  • Improve Sleep Quality – With reduced jaw tension, you may find yourself sleeping more soundly.

To plan your treatment, your dentist will perform a thorough exam and take digital impressions of your teeth. He will design a mouthguard based on your unique mouth structure. When your mouthguard is ready to pick up, you will try it on, so we can make any necessary adjustments. Plus, you will receive care instructions. You will leave our office on the path to relief.

Depending on the cause related to your TMJ disorder, Dr. Anderson may also recommend Invisalign. Misaligned teeth can often trigger this issue. Pursuing orthodontic treatment can relieve your condition for the long-term and give you a great-looking smile too.
