TMJ/Bruxism Treatment Wakefield
Finally Stop Your Jaw, Face & Head Pain
Every day, we see patients struggling with a common but serious oral health problem called bruxism. This issue, triggered by stress, involves unconscious teeth grinding that leads to serious oral health problems if it isn’t treated. Bruxism patients also face an increased risk of developing a neuromuscular condition known as TMJ dysfunction (TMD). Other serious problems include insomnia, eating disorders, and even depression.
Thankfully, relief from uncomfortable teeth grinding is possible with an oral appliance known as a nightguard. Nightguards are designed to be worn during sleep, when bruxism patients have the most difficulty with their condition. Wearing your nightguard protects the chewing surfaces of teeth from the harm caused by persistent grinding and clenching.

How We Can Help with TMJ/Bruxism Treatment
Because Dr. Schumacher is a board-certified prosthodontist, he has years of experience in protecting, restoring, and replacing teeth. This background guides him as he designs your specially made appliance. Once your appliance is ready, we’ll make sure it fits properly before sending it home with you to wear.
Dr. Staniek is also specially trained to provide short-term relief with strategic Botox injections into overworked and strained jaw muscles. This cannot only prevent unconscious grinding and pain, but also help shrink oversized masseter (chewing) muscles to create a more attractive jaw and neckline.
