One of the most effective ways to combat the adverse effects of clenching and grinding is with a custom night guard. Tailored to fit your mouth perfectly, a night guard provides a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth, cushioning the jaw joint and minimizing the impact of bruxism. In addition to safeguarding your teeth from chipping and wear, a night guard can also alleviate TMJ pain, headaches, and muscle tenderness associated with clenching and grinding.
At Oradell Dental, we specialize in crafting custom night guards that offer unparalleled comfort and protection. Our experienced team will work closely with you to create a night guard that meets your unique needs and provides lasting relief from TMJ issues.
In addition to custom night guards, Oradell Dental is pleased to offer Botox treatments as a complementary therapy for TMJ pain management. Botox, a neurotoxin derived from botulinum toxin, can effectively relax the muscles responsible for jaw clenching and grinding, providing temporary relief from pain and tension.
Administered by our skilled professionals, Botox injections are a safe and minimally invasive way to address TMJ issues and enhance overall comfort. By targeting specific muscle groups, Botox can help alleviate jaw pain, reduce muscle spasms, and improve your ability to open and close your mouth comfortably.
Clenching and grinding, also known as bruxism, can wreak havoc on your teeth and jaw joint. These involuntary habits exert excessive pressure on the jaw muscles and joints, leading to wear and tear, tooth damage, and TMJ dysfunction. If left untreated, bruxism can result in irreversible damage and chronic pain, affecting your quality of life.
At Oradell Dental, we are committed to providing comprehensive and personalized care to address your TMJ issues and improve your overall oral health. Whether you require a custom night guard, Botox injections, or a combination of both treatments, our experienced team is here to help you find relief and regain control of your oral health.
