Do you grind your teeth? Do you wake up with jaw pain or a headache every morning? You might attribute these symptoms to stress, but the fact is, your jaw may be out of alignment.

When your jaw is out of balance, called malocclusion, the top jaw and bottom jaw don’t meet evenly when you close your mouth. Just the simple motion of opening and closing your jaw can put a tremendous amount of strain on the surrounding muscles, joints and tendons, causing TMJ problems, including grinding and tooth wear.

The good news? This problem is easily and gently treatable and correctable! To treat jaw misalignment, we use splint therapy. Splints are custom made to fit your mouth and your teeth perfectly. They are designed to help the muscles relax and gently reposition the jaw joint to relieve any strain, pain or tension.

Put an end to your nightly or daily grind. Read more about splint therapy for TMJ treatment here https://www.buckheadgadentist.com/tmj-treatment/tmj-therapy/
