TMD/TMJ Devices in North Vancouver

TMD/TMJ Devices

If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking, or frequent headaches, a TMJ appliance could offer relief. These custom devices are designed to support the jaw and reduce tension caused by TMJ disorders or teeth grinding, helping you sleep more easily.

Mouthguards and Occlusal Splints

Dentists often recommend custom-made appliances like mouthguards or bite splints (also known as occlusal splints) to help manage discomfort from TMJ or TMD. These devices are carefully crafted to fit your unique bite and are made from durable, high-quality materials. Depending on your symptoms, your dentist may advise you to wear the appliance at night or during the day for more consistent relief.

How to Care for Your Dental Device

With regular cleaning and proper care, your mouthguard or bite splint can last for several years. However, if your bite changes or your jaw alignment shifts, your dentist may need to adjust or replace the appliance.
