Don’t you want to feel like yourself again?

Jaw discomfort, headaches, and facial tension can make everyday activities, like eating, speaking, or even sleeping, uncomfortable. At Kirby Dentistry, we offer Roswell TMJ treatment designed to relieve pain, protect your teeth, and restore balance to your bite.

What is TMJ disorder?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder affects the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can lead to discomfort and a range of symptoms that impact your daily life. Common signs of TMJ disorder include:

NJaw pain or soreness
NClicking or popping when opening or closing your mouth
NFrequent headaches or migraines
NTeeth grinding or clenching (especially at night)
NFacial tension or ear discomfort
NDifficulty chewing or opening your mouth fully

Reduce jaw pain and muscle tension

By minimizing strain on the jaw joint, occlusal guards help your muscles relax and recover, leading to less daily discomfort.

Protect your teeth from grinding damage

Clenching and grinding can wear down enamel over time. A custom guard creates a protective barrier to prevent long-term damage.

Minimize headaches and facial discomfort

Many patients experience fewer tension headaches and less facial soreness once nighttime grinding is controlled.

Support a more comfortable, balanced bite

Occlusal guards help guide your jaw into a more natural position, reducing stress on the joints and improving overall comfort.

TMJ Treatment FAQs

What causes TMJ disorder?

TMJ issues can be caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, stress, bite misalignment, or injury. Often, it’s a combination of factors.

How does an occlusal guard help?

An occlusal guard reduces pressure on the jaw joint and prevents teeth from grinding against each other, allowing the muscles and joint to relax and heal.

Will I need to wear my guard all the time?

Most patients wear their occlusal guard at night, when grinding and clenching are most common. Dr. Kirby will provide specific guidance based on your needs.

How long does it take to feel relief?

Many patients notice improvement within a few weeks of consistent use, though results can vary depending on the severity of symptoms.

Can TMJ go away on its own?

Mild symptoms may improve over time, but ongoing discomfort often requires Roswell TMJ treatment to prevent worsening and protect your teeth.

Is an occlusal guard the same as a night guard?

Yes, occlusal guard and night guard are often used interchangeably. Both refer to a custom appliance designed to protect your teeth and relieve jaw tension.
