Nightguards For TMJ Pain

Teeth grinding or bruxism during sleep can lead to headaches, TMJ issues, and uneven tooth wear. Dr. Mahale offers custom-made night guards to correct problems and preserve healthy teeth. Special orthotics and advanced treatments address underlying bite function problems when bite-related headaches occur.

A nightguard for TMJ (temporomandibular joint disorder) is a custom-fitted device worn while you sleep. It works by easing jaw tension, minimizing discomfort, and protecting your teeth from damage caused by grinding or clenching.

The nightguard acts as a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, easing pressure on the jaw joint and muscles while helping to prevent additional damage to the teeth and jaw.

People who suffer from jaw pain, headaches, or discomfort caused by teeth grinding or clenching may find relief with a nightguard. Consulting a dentist in Waxhaw, NC, is the best way to determine if a nightguard is the right solution for your needs. Try also our mouthguard for Athletics, which is one of the top services we have.
