Stop TMD Symptoms With a Custom Mouthguard

Headaches are a common symptom of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), especially because the temporomandibular joint muscles extend up the side of your face. Some other symptoms include:

• Clicking in your jaw
• Pain when you use your jaw
• Swelling in the affected area
• Your jaw locking in the open or closed position
• Discomfort when you chew or bite into food

Our team will go over your symptoms and recommend the treatment that will best address them. Often, using a custom oral mouthguard will relieve your TMD symptoms. This mouthguard can also:

• Help prevent teeth grinding that can cause excessive wear and tear on your enamel
• Fit comfortably in your mouth so you will not mind wearing it
• Enable you to get a better, more comfortable night’s rest
• Relieve tension on your jaw so it can heal

With headaches being so common, many people do not realize that the issue behind them could be dental related. Our orthodontists are here to help you get rid of your headaches with quality dental care from Orthodontic Alliances.
