Common Questions About Mouthguards
Can mouthguards help with TMJ problems?
Yes! In fact, custom mouthguards are one of the most common, conservative solutions for TMJ disorder and teeth grinding. Since these oral devices fit over your upper and lower teeth, they keep you from involuntarily clenching and grinding your teeth together while you sleep. This can alleviate the pressure on your jaw, reduce painful symptoms of TMJ disorder, and allow the joint to heal naturally. It also protects your tooth enamel from damage.
How do mouthguards help bruxism?
A custom-made mouthguard works by putting a barrier between your teeth. This barrier not only protects your teeth from damage caused by grinding, it also cushions the muscles in your jaw. Relieving the pressure put on your jaw by grinding and clenching usually relieves TMJ pain and related symptoms like headaches.
Are mouthguards covered by insurance?
Your insurance policy may cover a portion of the cost of your new mouthguard. We recommend checking with your individual carrier to see what your policy does and does not cover. We'll work with you to maximize your insurance benefits. Plus, we offer several flexible payment options including third-party financing through CareCredit.
