The temporomandibular joints, or TMJs, allow your mouth to open and close and move side to side. When your bite is not properly balanced, your TMJs must overcompensate, and this constant strain can result in facial pain, headaches, and other symptoms. Dr. Mateja can assess your symptoms and provide you with an occlusal guard that is custom-made to fit over your teeth, repositioning your jaw and preventing undue strain on your TMJs.

As a result, you can rarely enter into a deep sleep cycle, and you may wake up multiple times in the night. Dr. Mateja offers a complete medical assessment to detect the signs of sleep apnea. She may also recommend you to a sleep specialist for a sleep study, or recommend a custom mouthpiece designed to keep your airways open at night.

This procedure removes the pulp of the tooth, preserving the healthy outer structure.
