Night Guards and TMJ Therapy

Teeth Grinding Prevention in Queens
Do you grind or clench your teeth? Do you wake up with headaches or pain in the face? If so, night guards could be a great option to help combat these issues and improve your dental health.
We also fabricate TMJ appliances to help patients with more severe symptoms.
What is a TMJ appliance?
Most TMJ related pain is due to muscle incoordination as a result of an unbalanced bite. Special bite is taken to allow the joints to seat fully in the TMJ socket, allowing muscles to relax. This TMJ appliance takes several months to fine tune and will require multiple follow visits. Unlike a nightguard, you wear the TMJ appliance as much as possible in order to improve symptoms of pain and discomfort. Most patients find relief as early as the first night of wear.
All it takes is a 10 minute office visit to take an impression of your teeth using our state of the art intraoral scanner (camera). Schedule an appointment by calling (718) 224-4200.
