Keep Your Oral Health in Top Condition

If you struggle with a TMJ disorder, your dentist can design you a custom-fitted night guard using our state-of-the-art digital scanner. You will wear it while you sleep, the most common time for grinding or clenching. Your oral appliance will:
- Fit Perfectly – Our digital scanning technology ensures your nightguard fits you comfortably, improving your compliance and leading to faster healing.
- Protect Your Teeth – Wearing your nightguard adds a cushion between your teeth. You’ll avoid damaging your tooth enamel while you sleep.
- Improve Your Sleep – You won’t wake up with a sore jaw after wearing your oral appliance. You can expect a more restful sleep and a pain-free morning.
Your dentist may also recommend Invisalign® treatment if your TMJ disorder is triggered by misaligned teeth. You’ll gain a new smile that functions perfectly and looks beautiful.

If you’re experiencing any TMJ symptoms, we encourage you to discuss them during your checkup. Early intervention can prevent more serious complications and provide faster relief. You may notice:
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth
- Frequent headaches or facial pain
- Jaw stiffness or difficulty opening wide
- Unexplained ear pain or ringing
- Recurring neck and shoulder tension
- Excessive wear on your teeth
Call 571-518-5897 for TMJ treatment in Chantilly if these symptoms sound familiar. You can also schedule online.

Common Questions About TMJ Treatment
TMJ problems typically won’t go away without treatment. TMJ pain is usually caused when the joints in your jaw become inflamed. This commonly occurs because of two habits that put your jaw under pressure: clenching and teeth grinding. We can make a custom mouthguard for you that will stop these behaviors so that your jaw can heal.
There is no standard length for TMJ treatment. It depends on many factors, including the severity of your symptoms. Since a mouthguard not only relieves TMJ pain but also prevents damage to teeth caused by grinding, many patients make it a long-term addition to their bedtime routine.
Signs of a TMJ disorder may include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth completely, facial pain, headaches, and ear pain or ringing. Some people may also experience neck and shoulder pain or toothaches unrelated to dental problems. Also, your jaw may feel locked or stuck. If you experience any of these symptoms, it is important to visit our practice for help.
