Dental Co. of Knoxville is pleased to offer custom-fitted oral appliances and behavioral guidance to reduce TMJ and bruxism symptoms.
Bruxism is the habit of grinding and clenching teeth, and it usually occurs during sleep. People with TMJ disorders often also have a bruxism habit; they usually go hand-in-hand. Though painful, TMJ and bruxism issues can be treated through wearing a nightguard, relaxation exercises, pain relievers, and more.
We Create Custom-Fitted Nightguards in Knoxville, TN
Dr. Holt takes digital impressions of your mouth to create custom-fitted nightguards. The nightguard is comfortable and aims to reposition the jaws, reducing the stress and strain on the joints and surrounding muscles and ligaments. A custom nightguard also protects your teeth from wear and damage that can occur due to grinding and clenching your teeth.
