TMJ Appliances
In Boston
TMJ is an abbreviation for temporomandibular joint. These joints are in front of each ear and attach the lower jaw to your skull. The temporomandibular joints are what allow for your mouth to open and close, which gives you the ability to swallow, speak, and chew. Several problems can arise with the temporomandibular joint, which can be corrected through the use of TMJ appliances. Dental Partners of Boston is proud to offer these appliances to our patients.

What are TMJ Appliances?
TMJ appliances are devices meant to correct issues associated with the temporomandibular joints. A TMJ appliance is similar to a mouth guard. It is designed to decompress the joint which prevents the effects of teeth grinding and teeth clenching from taking place. There is also additional relief for the patient as it changes the resting length of the muscles.
You want to get good quality work done when you need it, and this place delivers. They work hard to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible. Everyone is exceptionally friendly and patient and kind. The work they do surpasses all of the anxiety.
Is a TMJ Appliance Right for You?

The trained dentists at Dental Partners of Boston will be able to assess whether or not you need a TMJ appliance. If you require a TMJ appliance, it is recommended that you get a custom appliance made to help with your pain. TMJ disorders can be caused by any of the following:
