TMJ Treatment: Achieve Relief at Enspire Dental

In the midst of our fast-paced lives, stress often manifests in subtle ways, one of the most common being the unconscious habit of teeth grinding and clenching. This seemingly innocuous behavior can lead to significant discomfort and damage, ultimately resulting in a range of painful TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues. At Enspire Dental, we provide innovative treatment options to expertly address your symptoms. We are devoted to not only alleviating your pain but also enhancing your overall well-being through targeted, well-researched treatment options.

Custom Bite Splints and Snore Guards

Bite Splints are custom removable devices worn at night to protect the teeth and TMJ from damage caused by clenching and grinding. Snore guards are oral devices worn at night as an alternative to the C-PAP, worn by many to prevent sleep apnea. While the C-PAP isthe industry standard to treat sleep apnea, they are often impossible for a patient to adapt to. A dental snore guard is a viable alternative and has been shown to increase compliance and reduce sleep apnea in patients unable to adapt to the C-PAP. At Enspire Dental, all impressions needed to make bite splints and snore guards are captured digitally using the iTero Digital Scanner. 

Embrace Relief with Advanced Botox Therapy

TMJ disorders, with their associated pain and migraines, can be both physically and emotionally draining. At Enspire Dental, our approach to TMJ pain management extends beyond oral appliances and prescription medication. Utilizing the most effective treatment available, we offer Botox injections specifically targeted at the jaw muscles. This advanced technique works by gently limiting the muscle’s function, thereby reducing pain and fostering a sense of relaxation. With just one session, many of our esteemed clients find relief that lasts for 6-12 months, allowing them to return to their daily routines with renewed comfort and ease.

We are here to provide you with a superior level of service, care, and convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions: Your Questions on TMJ Pain Management Answered.

How Does Botox Help in Managing TMJ Pain?2025-03-06T21:04:00-05:00

Botox treatment works by selectively relaxing the jaw muscles that are overactive due to grinding and clenching. By limiting the function of these muscles, Botox injections significantly reduce pain and alleviate the tension that can lead to migraines and other TMJ-related discomforts. This targeted approach has been proven to provide relief for 6-12 months from a single session.
