Discover How an Oral Appliance Relieves Pain

So patients have chronic jaw pain is often related to their muscles or or their grinding of their teeth at night and so we offer we offer multiple ways that we can take care of that and help them out with it. One option is to make a night guard or occlusal guard or occlusal splint. There's different names for for similar appliances but we we can make those just by simply doing a digital scan and taking some measurements of your teeth and so that can help protect your teeth and help you you find some relief. 

In fact, I wear a night guard myself and I can definitely notice a difference when I do wear versus when I don't. Another way is when maybe a night guard isn't enough or the patient doesn't necessarily want to try that we do muscle relaxing injections into their jaw muscles and that can really help them to you know feel better and patients often say that they notice that they're they don't wake up as sore in the morning as they did before they had that treatment done.

Feel Better With TMJ Therapy

You probably don't pay much attention to your TMJs - unless they become irritated and inflamed. In this case, your jaw joints can cause you a great deal of discomfort. Simple activities such as talking, laughing, and eating can make you wince in pain.

You're taking the first step toward relief from TMJ disorder by seeking treatment at Skyview Dental. Our comprehensive TMJ therapy uses the latest techniques and technology to address your specific symptoms and needs. Two of our most effective therapies include:

  • Custom TMJ Oral Appliances - These comfortable mouthguards gently reposition your jaw into better alignment. By reducing pressure on your TMJs, they can alleviate teeth grinding, jaw clenching, and painful muscle spasms. We customize each appliance for a precise fit.
  • Botox Treatment - Strategically administered Botox injections help relax the overactive muscles that contribute to TMJ pain, limiting their movement. This minimally invasive approach provides relief for several months before retreatment is needed.

Dr. Calvin Despain is certified with the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE). You can trust that you will receive the best results from Botox treatment if it's the right solution for your TMJ needs. Your dentist can even incorporate this solution into your checkups.
