Occlusal Splints
Teeth grinding and an improperly positioned jaw can cause continuous pain, but a custom-made occlusal splint can produce a more comfortable and damage-free smile. As a cushioned barrier between teeth, the appliance delivers greater protection while adjusting the placement of your jaw.
Equilibration/ Occlusal Adjustment
Equilibration alters specific teeth or restorations to create an even bite that feels good and no longer causes intense jaw pain. If you have any type of malocclusion, this solution will fix the problem so that your teeth come together properly instead of continuing to cause damage to the enamel and place unnecessary pressure on your jaw.
BOTOX® Injections
Regular BOTOX injections help to temporarily relieve jaw soreness so that you can go about your daily life without being in persistent pain. Dr. DeShetler may recommend BOTOX as an additional part of your plan to provide improved comfort while undergoing TMJ treatment.
