TMJ Appliances

TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint which is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull. Pain in the TMJ is commonly referred to as temporomandibular disorder (TMD).

Causes of TMJ Pain:

Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
Arthritis or degeneration of the joint
Dislocation of the disc between the ball and socket
Stress and muscle tension

TMJ Appliances:

Orthotic Splint in Tooth Color Acrylic: An orthotic splint designed to balance the bite and reduce stress on the TMJ.
Anterior Bite Plane: A splint that is placed on the front teeth to reduce the bite force and provide relief from TMJ pain.
