Practice Tip #8 – TMD Patient Tips

For your TMD patients that find they are still experiencing muscle pain during the day due to clenching.

Instruct them to put in their night appliance when they have their ‘trigger’ times of clenching, such as driving, studying, working on the computer or watching TV. Any time that they are don’t need to speak and find themselves clenching they can wear their night appliance instead of the splint to help prevent clenching.
