The temporomandibular joints (TMJs) are crucial for essential functions such as speaking, eating, and yawning. When these joints are inflamed or irritated, simple actions can become painful and difficult to perform. At Smiles of Lombard, we offer advanced solutions to ease your discomfort.

With the help of advanced digital scanning technology, our team captures accurate impressions of your teeth without the hassle of traditional, uncomfortable molds. These scans are then used to create a custom appliance designed to:

  • Provide Nighttime Relief – Wearing a bite guard while you sleep gently realigns your jaw. This eases tension on your TMJs, while ensuring comfort with minimal adjustment time.
  • Protect Your Dental Health – By preventing grinding and jaw clenching, the appliance helps protect your tooth enamel from chips, cracks, and similar damage. It may also reduce symptoms like headaches, preventing future dental issues.
  • Be Simple to Maintain – Keeping your appliance clean is easy with just mild soap and water.

In some cases, your dentist may recommend clear aligners or other orthodontic treatment as part of a long-term treatment plan, especially when a misaligned bite contributes to your TMJ discomfort. Additionally, Botox treatments are available for patients seeking further relief from jaw tension.
