Teeth grinding hurts your mouth and damages your teeth, but many people don’t know they grind their teeth. Most grinding happens when you sleep, so people only find out when they start having pain or see cracked teeth.

This problem often links to TMJ disorders and causes many painful symptoms:

• Jaw pain that stays all day
• Morning headaches and sore ears
• Hard time opening and closing your mouth
• Stiff jaw that sometimes gets stuck
• Pain that moves to your face, neck, or shoulders
• Clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw

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

We use a complete approach when treating grinding and TMJ problems. You need more than just quick pain relief. You should fix what causes your pain so it doesn’t come back.

How your jaw sits and how your teeth come together when you bite plays a big part in teeth grinding. When your bite doesn’t work right, it puts too much pressure on your jaw joints and causes ongoing pain.

Orthodontic treatment often fixes these problems well. When we put your teeth and jaw in the right place, it naturally stops grinding. Our full orthodontic services give you several great choices:

• Traditional metal braces work great to straighten crooked teeth and fix bite problems for patients of all ages. These strong 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 harder to see. Many adults and teens like these because they look more natural.
• Invisalign uses clear trays that are almost invisible and handle mild to moderate alignment problems perfectly, especially for busy adults who want quiet treatment.
• Surgical orthodontics fixes serious jaw alignment issues like bad overbites, underbites, or jaw position problems to bring back normal function and facial balance.

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