What is
TMJ Treatment & Night Guard Therapy?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders can cause jaw pain, headaches, teeth grinding, and even damage to your smile. At Smile Innovation, we offer custom-fitted night guards and comprehensive TMJ treatments that reduce discomfort and protect your teeth.

Typically 3–5 years, depending on grinding severity and care.
Can a night guard cure TMJ?
It can relieve symptoms, but additional therapies may be needed for complex cases.
Do over-the-counter night guards work?
They may help short-term but don’t provide the customized fit and protection of a professional one.
How do I clean my night guard?
Rinse daily, brush gently, and soak in a dentist-approved solution weekly.
Can kids or teens get night guards?
