Buy Nightguardsmile and comfort in mind
If you suffer from bruxism (teeth grinding and clenching) or TMJ disorder, your dentist will likely encourage you to use a nightguard to help mitigate the effects of these conditions. If price is no object, you can get one custom-designed from your dentist. They will take a mold of your teeth and create a nightguard that is made just for you...but the price tag can range from $300 to $500 and up. If affordability is a concern for you, you can get a custom-fit over-the-counter CustMbite Nightguard for a fraction of the cost.
If you’re not sure whether you have bruxism or TMJ disorder, continue reading. Following is a list of the most common symptoms of each of these conditions. Then read on to see how the CustMbite Nightguard can help ease some of the painful effects of these common disorders.
SYMPTOMS OF TMJ DISORDER AND BRUXISM
TMJ disorder occurs when the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) comes out of alignment. One of the causes of TMJ disorder is actually bruxism, in addition to factors such as getting hit in the jaw, arthritis, and more. The most common symptoms of TMJ disorder are as follows:
- Difficulty chewing or pain when chewing
- Pain in one or both of your temporomandibular joints
- Facial aches
- Locking of the TMJ, making it difficult to open or close your mouth
- Pain or tenderness in your jaw, especially upon waking
- Sensitivity in and around your ear with no other obvious cause
- And in the most severe cases of TMJ disorder, hearing loss
If you have sleep apnea or you snore, you may also have bruxism. These conditions often appear together. Some of the symptoms that may indicate you have nighttime bruxism are as follows:
- Increased tooth pain or sensitivity
- Jaw, face, or neck pain or soreness upon waking
- Dull headaches starting in the temples with no other known cause
- Sleep disruption from the noise or the pain of grinding your teeth
- Teeth grinding or clenching that is loud enough to wake your sleep partner
- Chipped, fractured, flattened, or loose teeth
- Worn tooth enamel that exposes the deeper layers of your tooth
- Tired or tight jaw muscles
- Damage from chewing on the inside of your cheeks
You may notice that many of the most common symptoms of TMJ disorder and bruxism overlap. This is because they affect the same area of your face, so they can cause pain in these areas. To be certain if you are suffering from either disorder and which one you have specifically, see your dental professional. They can diagnose the exact condition you have and suggest a course of treatment. Because a less-is-more approach is generally best, you will probably begin with wearing a nightguard.
