How TJz Balm™ Differs from Night Guards and Mouthguards
Over 40 million Americans are affected by bruxism and TMJ jaw pain related to the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Millions turn to TMJ night guards and TMJ mouthguards as a first attempt to treat jaw problems. Night guards and mouthguards protect the teeth but do not provide TMJ pain relief. TJz Balm™ alleviates muscle and joint pain and has cosmetic properties that moisturize, soothe and relax the jaw with a hands-free massaging applicator. While many patients find TMJ night guards to be uncomfortable, unattractive and often expensive, wearing a night guard in conjunction with applying TJz Balm™ may relax the jaw to improve comfort and can be the best solution to both protect the teeth and provide TMJ pain relief. Other holistic treatments for TMJ pain relief include TMJ massage, TMJ chiropractic treatment and stress reduction practices.
