Stop Grinding Away Your Smile

TMJ problems affect more than 10 million Americans. The good news is that it is treatable. One option is a custom-designed night guard, which can prevent grinding and keep your jaw in a more relaxed position. For some patients, orthodontic care such as Invisalign® may help as well.

Teeth grinding puts a strain on your mouth. It:

  • Wears down your enamel, which can increase your risk of cavities and infected teeth
  • Puts pressure on your gums and increases your risk of periodontal disease
  • Often causes facial soreness and tenderness around your jaws

Many people are not even aware that they are clenching or grinding their teeth because they do it in their sleep. Teeth grinding can be the result of stress, anxiety, or an alignment issue with your teeth. It can be a symptom of untreated sleep apnea as well.

Regardless of the reason, grinding is a common cause of TMJ disorders. This behavior puts pressure on your teeth, your temporomandibular joints (or TMJ), and the muscles around those joints. Arthritis, infections, and injuries can add to your risk of a TMJ disorder as well. A custom appliance can provide the relief you’ve been looking for!

Experiencing symptoms like jaw pain or stiffness, headaches, or facial swelling? Visit Kirchner Dental to see if you’d benefit from Jeffersonville, IN TMJ treatment. Schedule an appointment online or call 812-913-6093 today.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment / Teeth Grinding

Does TMJ treatment work?

TMJ treatment has helped many patients once again enjoy everyday activities like talking, eating, and laughing without pain. The key to successful TMJ therapy is finding a treatment method that works best for you. We offer different ways to treat TMJ pain, including a custom mouthguard and orthodontics. We’ll determine which one will work best for you.

How long does TMJ treatment take?

We understand you want to end the pain caused by a TMJ disorder as soon as you can. The truth is that treatment can take weeks or months depending on the severity of your situation and what needs to be done. For most patients, an oral appliance is the perfect solution in and of itself. For others, orthodontics may be needed to realign teeth to eliminate bite issues and reduce teeth grinding.

Will insurance pay for my TMJ treatment?

Your insurance may pay for part of your TMJ treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won’t cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has low-interest payment plans.

Is TMJ causing my headaches?

It’s possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.
