Teeth grinding damages your mouth and hurts your teeth. Many people grind their teeth without knowing it. Most grinding happens during sleep, so you might only discover the problem when pain starts or you notice damaged teeth.
This condition often connects to TMJ problems and creates many uncomfortable symptoms.
You might feel jaw pain that lasts all day long. Morning headaches and ear pain are common too. Some people have trouble opening and closing their mouth normally. Your jaw might feel stiff or even get stuck sometimes.
Pain often travels from your jaw to other parts of your head and neck. Your jaw joints might make unusual noises like clicks or pops when you eat or talk.
Orthodontic Alliances believes in fixing problems for good, not just covering up symptoms. Our patients come back to us because we solve their grinding and TMJ troubles. Other doctors in the area send their patients to our office because they trust our proven methods.
We look at the whole picture when we treat your grinding and jaw problems. Temporary pain relief will not solve your issue. The real answer is finding what causes your discomfort and fixing it properly.
Your bite pattern plays a huge role in whether you grind your teeth at night. Poor tooth alignment forces your jaw muscles to work harder than they should. This extra work creates tension and pain that builds up over time.
Orthodontic treatment often solves these problems effectively. When we move your teeth and jaw into the right position, it naturally reduces grinding. Our complete orthodontic services offer you several excellent options:
- Traditional metal braces work perfectly to straighten crooked teeth and fix bite issues for patients of all ages. These strong braces have helped millions of people achieve healthier smiles.
- Ceramic braces blend with your tooth color and work just as well as metal braces while being much less visible. Many adults and teens prefer these because they look more natural.
- Invisalign uses clear trays that are nearly invisible and handle mild to moderate alignment issues perfectly, especially for busy adults who want discreet treatment.
- Surgical orthodontics fixes major jaw problems when teeth and bones are badly out of place. This treatment helps with extreme bite issues and brings your jaw back to where it should be for proper function and a balanced face.
Stop letting pain control your daily routine. You deserve to feel comfortable and confident. Start moving toward a life without constant discomfort today.
