Teeth grinding damages your mouth and hurts your teeth, but many people don’t realize they have this problem. Most grinding happens during sleep, so patients only discover the issue when pain starts. Or they notice cracked teeth.

This condition often connects to TMJ disorders and creates many uncomfortable symptoms:

• Jaw pain that won’t go away
• Morning headaches and ear soreness
• Trouble opening and closing your mouth normally
• Jaw that feels stiff and sometimes locks up
• Pain that spreads to your face, neck, or shoulders
• Clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw

At Orthodontic Alliances, we create solutions that work long term and keep your teeth and mouth healthy. For many years, patients have trusted us to help with TMJ disorders and teeth grinding. Local doctors refer their patients to us because they know we get real results that last.

We take a complete approach when treating grinding and TMJ problems. You need more than temporary pain relief. You deserve to fix the root cause of your discomfort so it doesn’t come back.

How your jaw lines up and how your teeth meet when you bite affects teeth grinding in a big way. When your bite doesn’t work properly, it creates too much pressure on your jaw joints and leads to ongoing pain.

Orthodontic treatment often solves these issues effectively. When we position your teeth and jaw correctly, it naturally reduces grinding. Our full orthodontic services offer several excellent options.

Traditional metal braces work wonderfully to straighten crooked teeth and fix bite problems for patients of every age. These reliable braces have helped millions of people get healthier smiles.

Ceramic braces match your tooth color and work just as well as metal braces while being much less noticeable. Many adults and teens prefer these for their natural appearance.

Invisalign uses clear trays that are nearly invisible and handle mild to moderate alignment problems perfectly, especially for busy adults who want discreet treatment.

Surgical orthodontics addresses severe jaw alignment issues like serious overbites, underbites, or jaw position problems to restore normal function and facial harmony.

You don’t need to accept constant pain that makes every day harder. Take your first step toward relief and a more comfortable life.
