TMJ / TMD

Care at Cosmetic & Implant Dentistry Westport

TMJD Treatment in Kansas City, MO

If you experience frequent and intense jaw pain, stiffening, popping, or clicking in your jaw, or you have terrible headaches and migraines, you may have a condition called temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD). This condition occurs when your temporomandibular joint gets realigned improperly. The result is often pain and discomfort and needs treatment to be corrected. Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Westport's TMJD treatment includes mouth guards that gently realign the joint to its proper position. If you believe you have a TMJ disorder, we encourage you to schedule an exam. Our team will evaluate your jaw and determine the best next steps toward alleviating your pain.

Dental Mouth Guards Alleviate TMJ Symptoms

Jaw clenching throughout the night is among the biggest reasons why TMJD can continue and worsen. You have virtually no control over your movement when you sleep. If you frequently clench your jaw while awake or asleep, you may be more susceptible to a TMJ condition. Our mouth guards are intended to be worn during sleep. They carefully realign your temporomandibular joint and take pressure off your back teeth. When pressure is eased, your jaw can better relax and stop clenching. Your mouth guard should provide you with pain relief and comfort during and after your waking hours.

Improve Your Jaw's Comfort and Function

Jaw pain can inconvenience almost every part of your life. It can distract you from your daily activities, obligations, and lifestyle, leaving you inattentive. It can also lead to physical issues like difficulty chewing, swallowing, and speaking. This can lead to further problems in life and health. By getting a nighttime mouth guard from Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry Westport, you'll notice improvements to your life quickly. You'll be able to use your mouth like you did before TMJD, and the pain relief will provide enhanced mental clarity and happiness. You can rely on us to develop a mouth guard which you can wear comfortably throughout the night.
