Do you suffer from TMJ symptoms?

If you suspect a TMD, we provide TMJ treatment in the Boise area. If you are grinding your teeth, also known as bruxism, this could be causing you headaches, wearing down your enamel and interfering with your sleep.


Many people who suffer from bruxism are unaware as it often occurs during sleep. If you have soreness in your jaw, headaches, or know you clench or grind, you should schedule a consultation to assess for a TMJ disorder.

Nightguards
Nightguards

A night guard is a custom-made device worn over your teeth to protect them from the damage grinding can cause. The night guard is made from a soft, comfortable material that is barely noticeable when worn. Most patients are surprised at just how small dental night guards are! So if you expect a bulky, awkward guard, don’t worry!


One of the benefits of having a night guard is that it is custom-made to fit your teeth. This ensures a comfortable fit and also provides maximum protection for your teeth. 


Those with a sensitive gag reflex typically have zero problems wearing these. No bottom guard is necessary. A night guard is a great solution for protecting your teeth, but sometimes, a bite splint may be necessary to relieve the jaw. 

Bite Splints

A bite splint is a custom-made device that fits over your teeth and helps to reposition your lower jaw into a more natural position, allowing your jaw joint and muscles to relax. 


Difference between a nightguard and a bite splint

A Bite Splint releases the muscles gradually. The primary difference between a night guard and a bite splint is that a bite splint is designed to not only protect your teeth but also to reposition your jaw. A night guard protects your teeth from grinding against each other to prevent damage to your enamel.
