TMJ Orthotics

At Mask Dental Studio, we understand that jaw pain and discomfort can significantly impact your quality of life. One effective treatment we offer is TMJ orthotics. These custom dental appliances are designed to help alleviate the symptoms associated with temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJ/TMD), promoting better jaw function and comfort.

What Are TMJ Orthotics?

TMJ orthotics are specially designed devices that fit over your teeth and are worn in the mouth to help reposition the jaw. They work by stabilizing the jaw and providing support to the temporomandibular joint, reducing strain on the muscles and ligaments surrounding the joint. This can help alleviate pain, reduce clenching and grinding, and improve overall jaw alignment.

Benefits of TMJ Orthotics

TMJ orthotics provide numerous advantages for individuals suffering from TMJ disorders:

●       Pain Relief: By providing support and stabilization to the jaw, TMJ orthotics can help reduce pain in the jaw, neck, and shoulders, improving overall comfort.

●       Improved Jaw Function: These appliances can help restore proper jaw alignment and function, making it easier to open and close your mouth without discomfort.

●       Reduction of Teeth Grinding: TMJ orthotics can help minimize bruxism (teeth grinding) by preventing direct contact between the upper and lower teeth, protecting your enamel and reducing wear.

●       Customized Fit: Unlike over-the-counter solutions, our TMJ orthotics are custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.

Our TMJ Orthotic Process

At Mask Dental Studio, we strive to make your experience with TMJ orthotics effective and comfortable. Here’s what to expect during your appointment:

  1. Comprehensive Evaluation: Your visit will begin with a thorough assessment of your dental and medical history. We’ll discuss your symptoms and evaluate your jaw function to determine if TMJ orthotics are appropriate for you.

  2. Impressions: If TMJ orthotics are recommended, we will take precise impressions of your teeth. This allows us to create a custom orthotic that fits comfortably in your mouth.

  3. Fabrication: Our skilled dental lab will fabricate your TMJ orthotics using high-quality materials designed for durability and comfort.

  4. Delivery Appointment: Once your orthotic is ready, you’ll return for a delivery appointment. We’ll ensure it fits correctly and make any necessary adjustments to optimize comfort and effectiveness.

  5. Follow-Up Care: We’ll provide guidance on how to use and care for your TMJ orthotic and schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor its effectiveness and your progress.
