What Is TMD?
Temporomandibular joint disorder is pain and tenderness of the jaw joint. It can be caused by jaw injuries and/or joint disease, and grinding or clenching may exacerbate the problem. Symptoms can include:
​
-
Pain around the ear, jaw, temples or face
-
Difficulty opening and closing mouth
-
Unusual jaw noises when chewing or opening mouth
-
Neck pain
-
​Headaches
How We Can Help
An occlusal splint is worn at night and can help with your TMD. It is a clear plastic guard that fits over your teeth, meaning that you will bite against the guard rather than your teeth. We can custom-make a TMJ splint that’s fitted for your teeth, providing comfort and stability when you wear it at nighttime.
