Restore Comfort With a Precision TMJ Appliance

A custom TMJ appliance provides targeted relief by repositioning your jaw into proper alignment while you sleep. This specially designed device reduces pressure on your jaw joint and prevents teeth grinding that often accompanies TMJ disorders.

You'll likely experience less jaw pain within just a few weeks of consistent use. The appliance also helps relax the muscles around your jaw and decreases tension headaches.

Creating your custom appliance is a comfortable, precise process. Our iTero digital scanner captures 3-D images of your teeth without messy traditional impressions. These detailed scans allow our lab to craft an appliance that fits perfectly, ensuring maximum effectiveness and comfort.

Once your appliance is ready, your dentist will carefully adjust it to your specific bite pattern. Our team will also provide simple care instructions so you can begin your journey toward TMJ relief immediately.

Protect Your Teeth While Treating TMJ Discomfort

Your TMJ appliance creates a protective barrier that stops destructive teeth grinding and clenching during sleep. This physical separation between your upper and lower teeth shields your enamel from excessive forces that can cause wear, chips, cracks, and flattening of your tooth surfaces.

The appliance helps preserve your natural tooth structure and maintains your smile's appearance and function. Preventing enamel damage with a TMJ appliance helps you avoid costly restorative treatments. Without protection, grinding can lead to the need for crowns, bonding, or other treatments for damaged teeth. The device also reduces pressure on existing dental restorations like fillings, extending their lifespan and protecting your investment in your smile.

If a misaligned bite is contributing to your TMJ problems, your dentist may suggest Invisalign^® treatment. You can be assured of excellent results, thanks to Dr. Nair's participation in Molis Coaching, a program based on insights from thousands of successful cases.

J. L. (Verified Patient)

As a dental hygienist myself I can wholeheartedly say that Dr. Nair does excellent dental work. I’ve had very thorough and gentle cleanings by her and her hygienists as well as had a filling placed on one of my front teeth due to a chip in a very visible area and it is seamless with my natural tooth. The color match is perfect. I can also say that the equipment used here is top notch. I choose to get my cleanings done every 4 months and I get them done at the office I work at and here because I trust their work. I’ve been coming here for several years now and Dr. Nair and her team have not changed in their kind nature and fair prices.10/10 would recommend.

Ive been coming here for the past 5 years and i keep coming back because Dr Nair is the best dentist I’ve ever had. She is patient, gentle, kind and amazing at her job. The techs and office people are always so warm and welcoming. I used to have a lot of anxiety about the dentist but now I feel calm and ready to handle whatever problems may arise together. Even after losing my insurance, Serenity Dental has worked with me to help me get the care I need, offers a membership and payment plans. If you’re scared or anxious about treatment or paying for it, Serenity Dental will treat you with the respect and care you deserve. Trust in Dr Nair and everything will be ok!!

M. D. (Verified Patient)

As a person whose entire life, has been a struggle with crippling anxiety just walking in the front door of a dentist office. I can tell you there is something different and wonderful about Brinda Nair, as a care giver, they have the care and the giving part down pat. Moreover nothing feels painted on, there’s no contrivances, they’re trustworthy with their words and clear with their actions. Put it this way, I moved almost one hour away from the office and still make the commute because it’s worth it to me. She has made a real and lasting difference in my life. Jerry Wheat.

How do I know if I have a TMJ disorder?

Common symptoms include jaw pain or tenderness, clicking or popping sounds when opening your mouth, difficulty or discomfort while chewing, facial pain, headaches, earaches, and limited jaw movement. If you experience these symptoms regularly, especially in combination, schedule an evaluation to determine if TMJ treatment could help relieve your discomfort.

How long will I need to wear my TMJ appliance?

Most patients wear their TMJ appliance nightly for several months to experience maximum relief. Some may eventually reduce usage to a few nights per week for maintenance. The exact timeline varies based on your specific condition and symptoms. Regular follow-up appointments allow us to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.

Can TMJ disorders resolve without treatment?

Minor, temporary TMJ discomfort might resolve with rest and self-care measures like soft foods and stress reduction. However, persistent symptoms generally require professional treatment to prevent worsening. Untreated TMJ disorders often progress, causing increased pain, potential tooth damage, and chronic headaches that become more difficult to address over time.
