TMJ Care

Many people experience symptoms such as headaches, jaw pain, muscle tension in the head and neck, and issues like grinding or clenching, which may be related to temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders, also known as TMD. These symptoms can greatly impact your daily life, and it's essential to determine whether they stem from a problem with the jaw joint, bite misalignment, or another underlying issue. At Hamburg Family Dental, we offer comprehensive evaluations to diagnose the cause of your discomfort.

Our thorough dental exams, combined with a detailed review of your dental history, help us pinpoint the root of your TMJ or TMD symptoms. Once diagnosed, we provide personalized treatment options to alleviate pain and restore function to your jaw, muscles, and teeth. Whether it’s bite correction, a night guard to prevent grinding, or other specialized therapies, our goal is to help you regain comfort and improve your quality of life. Contact us today to schedule a comprehensive exam and explore your treatment options for TMJ-related concerns.

Occlusal Orthotic Device (Bite Guard)

An occlusal orthotic device, or specialized bite guard, is designed to relieve pressure on the jaw joint and promote healing. This custom-made appliance helps reduce clenching and grinding, easing tension in the TMJ and surrounding muscles. At Hamburg Family Dental, we craft occlusal orthotic devices for long-term relief and support in your recovery.

Bite Adjustment

Bite adjustment, also known as occlusal adjustment, is a procedure used to correct bite misalignment that may be contributing to TMJ pain or other dental issues. By carefully reshaping the teeth, we can improve the way your upper and lower teeth fit together, reducing strain on the jaw joint and helping alleviate TMJ-related discomfort.

Night Guards

A night guard is a custom-fitted appliance worn while you sleep to prevent teeth grinding (bruxism) and reduce the strain on your TMJ. At Hamburg Family Dental, we create comfortable night guards that protect your teeth from wear and alleviate the pressure on your jaw, promoting better sleep and reducing symptoms of TMJ disorders.
