TMJ Devices in Burnaby

TMJ Devices

TMJ devices are specially designed to alleviate discomfort associated with temporomandibular joint disorders. These custom appliances help realign your jaw and reduce tension, providing relief from pain and improving jaw function for a better quality of life.

Mouthguards and Occlusal Splints

Two common dental appliances used to treat TMD/TMJ disorders are mouthguards and occlusal splints (also known as bite guards). Both are custom-fitted for your mouth and crafted from dental-grade materials. For optimal relief, these devices should be worn at night and during the day if advised by your dentist.

Maintaining Your Dental Device

With proper care and hygiene, your custom mouthguard or occlusal splint can last for several years. If you notice changes in your bite or jaw alignment, your dentist may need to reassess and adjust your device. If you’re experiencing TMJ-related jaw pain, consult with our dentists to explore a dental appliance solution.
