Chronic headaches, jaw clicking, and facial tension are often signs that your bite is out of alignment. We provide comprehensive TMJ analysis and non-invasive therapies to resolve pain at the source, protecting your teeth and restoring your quality of life.
Effective treatment begins with a precise diagnosis. Dr. Wengrover performs a detailed clinical evaluation of your jaw joints (TMJ), chewing muscles, and bite alignment to identify the root cause of your discomfort, whether it’s stress related grinding or a structural misalignment.
Protect your teeth and rest your jaw with a custom fitted occlusal guard. Unlike over the counter mouthguards, our professional nightguards are meticulously designed to provide a perfect fit, reducing muscle tension and preventing the tooth wear caused by nighttime clenching and grinding (bruxism).
Sometimes, a tiny interference in how your teeth meet can cause significant jaw strain. Through gentle reshaping of specific tooth surfaces, Dr. Wengrover can "balance" your bite, ensuring that pressure is distributed evenly in the posterior, allowing your jaw muscles to finally relax.
In more complex cases, worn down teeth may be the cause, or the result, of jaw pain. By using using crowns, veneers, onlays or bonding we are able to restore the proper height and shape of your teeth. This way we are able accommodate a more evenly distributed bite to restore the proper height and shape of your teeth, we can move your jaw back into its most natural, pain free position.
Do you wake up with morning headaches or a sore jaw? Do you notice clicking, popping, or “locking” when you eat? You don’t have to live with the discomfort. If you’ve noticed your teeth looking shorter or chipped due to grinding, a TMJ consultation is the first step toward relief.
TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint itself (the "hinge" of your jaw). TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder) refers to the various conditions, pain, and dysfunction associated with that joint and the surrounding muscles.
Yes! Many tension headaches are caused by intense muscle contractions during sleep. A custom nightguard prevents your upper and lower teeth from locking together, allowing the muscles to remain in a neutral, relaxed state throughout the night.
It depends on the cause of your pain. For many, a nightguard is a long term protective habit. For others, a permanent bite adjustment (equilibration) can resolve the issue so that an appliance is no longer necessary.
Untreated TMD can lead to chronic pain, permanent damage to the jaw, joint and even fractures in your teeth due to the extreme pressure of grinding. Early intervention is the best way to prevent costly restorative work later.
