Grinding and Clenching: Daily stress and tension can cause people to clench their jaws and grind their teeth, resulting in permanent tooth damage. If you suffer from painful jaws, experience headaches in the morning, or have sensitive teeth, you could be suffering from bruxism (tooth grinding) or clenching. It is often a subconscious behavior, so people don’t realize they are doing it. To alleviate the discomfort of bruxism and prevent further tooth damage, we create customized “night guards” that will protect your teeth and help you break the cycle of clenching your jaw muscles.

TMJ: Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ) is a painful problem with the ball-and-socket connection of the jaw. Located in front of the ear, this joint helps you talk and chew, and is a major nerve site. TMJ can occur for a variety of reasons such as teeth grinding and mouth trauma. We provide “TMJ guards,” which are special mouth guards that can help alleviate jaw pain and headaches and prevent further irritation of the joint.
