Get an Oral Appliance to Preserve Your Smile
TMJ disorders affect millions of people. Several factors can contribute to this condition. Accidents, arthritis, and injuries all can have a detrimental effect on your jaw joints. Another common cause is bruxism, grinding and clenching your teeth together. You may grind and clench your teeth while you sleep, so you may be unaware of it. Your dentist can see the effects of this behavior during regular examinations of your teeth.
We offer restorative services to repair damaged teeth, but we would prefer to help you prevent that damage from happening. You can come to us for a custom oral appliance. This is a special kind of mouthguard that will:
- Fit better and more comfortably than store-bought options
- Prevent you from grinding and clenching your teeth
- Hold your jaw in a relaxed position, so you can enjoy a good night’s rest
- Ease the pressure on your jaw so it can heal
Call Sabal Dental at 512-955-5527 or schedule online. Stop your pain with our TMJ treatment in Austin, TX. We’re happy to help!
