Personalized TMJ Treatment Options

Depending on your situation, Dr. Engel may recommend one or a combination of treatments, such as an occlusion adjustment or custom night guard. An occlusal adjustment aligns the teeth and jaw to prevent unnatural positioning that can cause TMJ-related pain, while a nightguard keeps the jaw in a neutral position during sleep to reduce grinding.
