TMJ Treatment Cleveland
Find Relief for Your Aching Jaw
If you're experiencing chronic jaw pain, clicking, or trouble opening your mouth, these might point to the possibility of a TMJ disorder. Your TMJ (temporomandibular joint) is one of the most complex structures in your body, and when it's injured or out of balance, it can be annoying, uncomfortable, and distracting. We offer TMJ treatment at our Cleveland practice to ease discomfort and get your jaw working for you once again.

Occlusal Splints
An occlusal splint, sometimes called a nightguard or bite guard, is a highly customized device worn over your teeth to reduce the strain on your jaw joint and muscles. Worn only to bed, it gently adjusts the position of your jaw and prevents your teeth from grinding or clenching together. Over time, this eases TMJ-related pain and protects your teeth from excessive wear and tear.
Equilibration/Occlusal Adjustment
An occlusal adjustment gently reshapes the biting surfaces of your teeth to correct how your upper and lower arches come together. When your bite is uneven, it can put extra strain on your jaw joint and muscles, so by correcting the imbalance, we can relieve TMJ symptoms and prevent them from coming back.
