Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about TMD and bruxism treatment.
TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) refers to problems with the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It can cause pain, clicking sounds, and difficulty opening the mouth.
Bruxism can be caused by stress, anxiety, sleep disorders, medications, caffeine, or an abnormal bite. Many people grind their teeth unconsciously during sleep.
Signs include worn tooth surfaces, jaw pain, morning headaches, tooth sensitivity, and your partner hearing grinding sounds at night. A dental examination can confirm grinding damage.
Custom-made night guards are designed for comfort and proper fit. There may be a brief adjustment period, but most patients adapt quickly and sleep better with protection.
