Patients who suffer from dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can find relief with orthodontic appliances. A TMJ splint fits over your upper and low arch of teeth, similar to a nightguard, and stabilizes the joint into proper positioning. Generally, these splints are worn at night and can help combat unconscious grinding (bruxism) and damage. Our splints are custom-created to fit your mouth, ensuring a comfortable treatment. While wearing the splint, your jaw can relax, reducing tension and stress on the joint and muscles, relieving some of the discomforts of TMJ dysfunction.
