We have different options for helping people that have temporomandibular joint disorder or dysfunction, and that can be pain in the joints, clicking, popping, pain throughout the jaws, patients clenching and grinding their teeth. A few options – one is we can fabricate occlusal guards, which is something that they can wear at night while they're sleeping just to help decrease the amount of pressure they're putting on their joints, decrease the amount of wear that they have on their teeth. Another option is that if their teeth being out of position is leading to some of these issues, we can help straighten those teeth out with orthodontic treatments.
Here in our office, we use Invisalign, which is clear orthodontic aligners, so we can move the patient's teeth to a more ideal position, and by improving the bite, a lot of times we improve the positioning of the joints, which helps relieve some of these issues as well, so, with an examination, we can look at these patients and we can determine what's causing it, what we can do to help, and then do everything in our power to help the situation.

Say Goodbye to Jaw Pain
With jaw pain treatment from a device known as an NTI-tss, you could soon feel better. It is specially designed to fit comfortably in your mouth while you sleep, keeping your back teeth apart and preventing you from clenching your jaw.
Jaw clenching is a major cause of:
- Jaw and facial pain
- Migraines and tension headaches
- Neck and shoulder tension
With our TMJ therapy, you’ll experience all these symptoms less frequently. You’ll wake up feeling better, and mealtimes will be more enjoyable. You’ll likely even be more productive during the day, as your concentration and mood will improve.
Our Oral Device Eliminates TMJ Symptoms Like Teeth Grinding
Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) sit on either side of your head, joining your jaw to your skull. These joints make it possible to open and close your mouth for all sorts of daily activities, including:
- Talking
- Eating
- Laughing
- Yawning
However, when they become inflamed and irritated, you can experience severe pain. Your jaw can hurt, and you can even have headaches when you wake up in the morning. The NTI-tss device will help reduce your pain by keeping you from clenching your jaw and grinding your teeth.
There’s no need to suffer any longer. Call Copperfield Dentistry for Houston TMJ treatment: 281-643-0316. You can also use our online form to request an appointment or to schedule your next regular checkup.
