Common Questions About TMJ Treatment

What are common signs of TMJ problems?

Common TMJ symptoms include jaw pain, stiffness, headaches, facial tension, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty opening your mouth fully. If these symptoms persist, Dr. Platt can help determine whether a custom night guard would relieve your discomfort.

How does a night guard help with TMJ?

Your custom night guard creates a protective barrier between your upper and lower teeth while gently positioning your jaw to reduce pressure. This helps your jaw muscles relax overnight, decreases joint inflammation, and prevents painful grinding. You'll wake up feeling relief from morning jaw pain and headaches.

Is a custom mouthguard better than one from the store?

Absolutely. Store-bought guards use a one-size-fits-most approach that often results in bulky, uncomfortable appliances that may even worsen your symptoms. Your custom-made night guard is precisely crafted to fit your unique bite pattern. This perfect fit makes it more comfortable to wear consistently and significantly more effective at reducing your TMJ symptoms.
