Frequently asked questions
While over-the-counter options are available, they often don’t fit properly and may not address your specific needs. A custom TMJ mouth guard is designed specifically for your bite, making it more comfortable and far more effective at relieving symptoms and protecting your teeth.
With proper care, a custom mouth guard can last several years. The exact lifespan depends on factors like the severity of grinding and how well the guard is maintained. We’ll check it during your visits to ensure it stays in great condition.
A mouth guard is an effective way to manage and relieve TMJ symptoms, but it may not fully “cure” the underlying cause. In some cases, additional treatments—like orthodontics or bite correction—may be recommended for long-term results.
