Night Guards in SE Calgary

TMD disorders are typically treated with a custom night guard as a first step, before more invasive solutions are considered. After a TMD & TMJ Assessment, a custom Nightguard may be recommended by your dental professional to realign your jaw in a more ideal position that reduces stress on the muscles of the face and neck, and protects the enamel and surface of the teeth when TMH disorders include clenching and grinding of the teeth.

TMJ disorders are fairly common. If you experience any of the following symptoms, you might be a candidate for a Nightguard:

• You grind or clench your teeth during the day or night
• You suffer from frequent headaches and pain in your neck
• You hear a ‘clicking’ or ‘popping’ sound when you open your mouth
• It is difficult and/or painful when you open your mouth wide when you eat or yawn
• You have ever suffered an injury to your neck, head, or jaws
• You have arthritis in other joints throughout your body
• You have noticed that your teeth no longer touch when you bite together

Our goal is to alleviate any pain you might be experiencing and ensure that you have the proper protection for their teeth. If you are dealing with any of the above symptoms, we recommend that you call Health Plus Dental Centre today to schedule an appointment for a complete TMD & TMJ Assessment with our experienced dental team.
