Involuntary muscle activity during sleep can be a debilitating TMJ pain trigger. The forces that cause patients to clench their jaw or grind their teeth during sleep can’t be controlled with medication or behavior management; they occur naturally. However, this activity can be greatly tempered with the use of an oral orthopedic nightguard.

Oral orthopedic nightguards act as a cushioned barrier between the upper and lower teeth, reducing the effects of teeth clenching, grinding, and misalignment. Dr. O’Day personally crafts nightguards that are unique to your mouth and jaw, ensuring comfort while you sleep and control over abrasive muscle activity.
