Many people in New Hanover and Boyertown experience nighttime grinding (bruxism) or jaw pain (TMJ disorder) without realizing the damage it is doing to their teeth and joints. Boyertown Family Dental provides custom solutions to protect your teeth and alleviate chronic jaw discomfort.
- Custom Night Guards: If you grind or clench your teeth while sleeping (bruxism), a custom-fitted night guard cushions and separates the upper and lower teeth, preventing excessive wear, chipping, and fracturing.
- TMJ/TMD Treatment: Chronic jaw pain, headaches, clicking, or difficulty opening the mouth can be signs of Temporomandibular Joint Disorder. We evaluate the bite and jaw alignment and recommend therapies, including custom oral appliances, to relieve muscle strain and reduce symptoms.
If you wake up with jaw soreness or tension headaches, speak to our dentists about an effective solution. Protect your smile and health with a custom appliance from your local New Hanover expert.
