Avoid a TMJ Disorder by Getting Your Bite Guard

TMJ, or temporomandibular joints, allow you to move your lower jaw to open and close your mouth. Teeth grinding is a common contributor to TMJ disorders that puts added pressure on your teeth, joints, and surrounding muscles.

Without relief, you can struggle with headaches, jaw soreness, and other pains that disrupt your day. Your grinding can also interfere with your sleep and increase your risk of decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

When you visit us at Bautsch Family Dentistry, you benefit from our 40 years of experience restoring patients' oral function.

Common Questions About Teeth Grinding

How long does teeth grinding treatment take?

There is no standard length for teeth grinding treatment. It depends on several factors, including how badly you grind your teeth. Since a custom mouthguard will help prevent damage to your teeth caused by repeated grinding, many patients make it a permanent addition to their bedtime routine.

Will insurance pay for my teeth grinding treatment?

Your insurance may pay for part of your teeth grinding treatment. We can help determine what your plan will and won't cover and what your portion of the cost may be. Keep in mind that we offer financing options to help pay for your treatment. We work with CareCredit, which has low-interest payment plans.

Is teeth grinding causing my headaches?

It's possible, yes. Inflammation of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can lead to pain in the surrounding muscles of the head and neck, which can be misinterpreted as migraines. Grinding can cause the joint to become inflamed. By wearing a mouthguard, you can alleviate the pain caused by TMJ inflammation and potentially experience relief from headaches.
