TMJ Treatment & Prevention

Legacy Dental uses modern technology and advanced techniques to provide you with the care you need.

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders refer to a group of painful disorders and dysfunction of the jaw joint and muscles. Symptoms can include:

  • Muscle pain

  • Joint pain

  • Limited jaw movement

  • Jaw popping or clicking

  • Headaches or migraines
TMJ disorders are often the result of trauma, overuse, and para-function (non-useful or unnecessary jaw movements) like clenching, grinding, and sleep disorders including sleep apnea. TMJ disorders are sometimes related to the way that your teeth fit together. If left untreated this disorder can have a detrimental impact on your daily life and will only worsen. It is important to seek professional health advice if you are experiencing these symptoms. Our Salt Lake City dentists can help you get jaw pain relief and fully understand the impact of TMJ.

The NTI-tss

Treat your TMJ with an oral appliance.

Once your dentist has diagnosed your specific TMJ disorder, one of the common ways that we treat the disorder is with the use of an appliance called an NTI-tss.

This small device precisely fits over your front teeth and does not allow the back teeth to come together. The NTI-tss is generally worn while sleeping. The NTI-tss allows the joint to be centered without the influence of the teeth and allows the jaw muscles to relax.

Most people begin to notice a significant difference after only a few days of use. Learn more about the NTI-tss and its role in headache treatment and prevention.

The dentists at Legacy Dental were among the first dentists in Salt Lake to provide the NTI-tss and have been providing this service since 2001.
