TMJ and Bruxism Treatment

Living with the discomfort of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders or bruxism (teeth grinding) can affect your daily life, leading to pain, headaches, jaw tension and even damage to your teeth. At Tripitaka Dental, we provide thorough and personalised TMJ and bruxism treatment, helping you find relief and protect your oral health.

The Impact of TMJ and Bruxism on Your Health 

TMJ disorders occur when the jaw joints are misaligned or under strain, leading to symptoms such as jaw pain, clicking sounds, headaches and facial discomfort. Bruxism, or teeth grinding, often occurs during sleep and can cause tooth wear, jaw pain and tension headaches. Both conditions can seriously impact your quality of life if left untreated.

At Tripitaka Dental, we offer comprehensive care to address both TMJ disorders and bruxism. Our team works closely with you to determine the root cause of your discomfort and develop a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs.

Tailored Treatments for Lasting Relief

At our Cabramatta dental clinic, we'll carefully assess your TMJ pain and teeth grinding (bruxism). We'll listen to your concerns, check your jaw movement and examine how your teeth align. Based on this, we'll recommend the best treatment to ease your discomfort and protect your teeth and jaw.

The Benefits of TMJ and Bruxism Care

TMJ and bruxism treatment has several benefits.
Pain Relief
Treatment can alleviate jaw pain, headaches and facial discomfort caused by TMJ and bruxism.
Tooth Protection
TMJ and bruxism treatment can prevent further damage to your teeth from grinding and clenching.
Improved Sleep

Oral Splints and Other Treatment Options

One of the most effective treatments for TMJ and bruxism is custom-made oral splints or nightguards. These dental appliances are worn while you sleep, protecting your teeth from grinding and relieving the tension in your jaw muscles.  

At Tripitaka Dental, we create custom-fitted splints designed to be comfortable and practical for your specific needs. If necessary, we’ll order the product for you to ensure it’s precisely tailored for your comfort and protection.

In addition to splints, we work with trusted physiotherapists specialising in TMJ therapy. This partnership allows us to offer a more holistic approach to your treatment, addressing the muscular and joint-related issues contributing to your condition.

At Tripitaka Dental, we believe that every patient’s situation is unique. That’s why we take a personalised approach to your TMJ and bruxism treatment, offering the right solutions for your needs. We prioritise your comfort and well-being, ensuring that our recommended treatment plan works best for you.
