Teeth grinding harms your smile and affects your day-to-day activities. Millions of people do not know that they clench their teeth or grind them together. Why? Because this is something they are doing in their sleep.

Teeth grinding can also be a major factor in TMJ disorders. Some common symptoms of this condition include:

• Pain or stiffness in the jaw
• Feeling like your jaw can’t move
• Clicking or popping when you open or close your mouth
• Pain in the neck, face, shoulders, and upper back
• Regular headaches and earaches

Orthodontic Alliances is a trusted center for treating TMJ disorders, and teeth grinding can contribute to those conditions. Dentists and doctors refer patients to us because we have developed a reputation for our teeth grinding care. Plus, our professionals have been treating TMJ and teeth grinding for decades.

We assess the alignment of your teeth and jaw, which can affect your teeth grinding. Through our approach to TMJ treatment, you would become more likely to clench and grind your teeth. This will reduce pressure on your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) and end the painful symptoms you are experiencing.

Correcting your smile and your bite can be an invaluable part of treatment, and we offer multiple orthodontic options:

• Metal Braces – This tried-and-true treatment will give almost anyone a straight smile.
• Ceramic Braces – Get the results of metal braces with ceramic brackets, which more closely match the color of your teeth.
• Invisalign – If you have mild or moderate alignment issues, you may prefer this modern treatment for discreet solution.
• Surgical Orthodontics – The service can adjust the alignment of your jaw to fix a weak chin, an open bite, or a protruding lower jaw. Fix your smile and improve your oral health, while alleviating your teeth grinding symptoms.
