TMJ Treatment Options
At Tamborello Dentistry in Magnolia, TX near The Woodlands, TX, we offer two treatment options for patients that suffer from TMJ/TMD. Depending on your examination and symptoms, Dr. Tamborello can help you decide which treatment option is best for you.
- Dental Splints – Bite splints are a custom-made acrylic dental appliance that can fit either over the upper or lower teeth. They are designed to cover all your teeth and are worn to prevent clenching of teeth and to realign your jaw.
- Mouthguards – Night guards are another custom-made orthotic that covers your teeth and props them apart which decreases the grinding of teeth and allows facial muscles to relax.
