TMJ Treatment by Viviane Trinh, DDS
Teeth grinding and clenching while sleeping is a common issue among adults who suffer from anxiety and/or general stress. From this grinding, serious conditions can arise such as TMJ and severe migraines. Treatments in NYC for teeth clenching consist of nighttime mouth guards that prevent a person from grinding and clenching in their sleep.
Excellent treatment, felt super safe and clean in Corona times as well, thank you for everything!
Dr. Trinh made my trip to the dentist extremely enjoyable. She was very professional, upbeat and thoughtful: she took the time to explain me the what and why of each treatments. I got to learn new things besides getting my teeth fixed. I would highly recommend Dr. Trinh to anyone!
Dr. Trinh is fantastic. Capable, friendly, and thorough. Highly recommend.
Phenomenal experience with Viviane the other week! Great attention to detail and I learned a few things about the affects of eating too much bread on my teeth 🙂
I’m so happy with my decision on choosing this Dentist. Literally the best dentist I have ever been to. So gentle and makes you feel at ease. Thank you for making me so comfortable.
Dr. Trinh was amazing. She was very thorough and thoughtful. She crossed every T and dotted every i. She listened to all of my concerns and made my experience a beautiful one. I will be returning.
Dr. Trinh is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever been too. And I used to see one of the best dentists in the Tri-State area. The quality of her work is not only first-rate but when you combine that with her professionalism and friendliness it’s no coincidence she’s at the top of her field. I highly recommend her!
Viviane is an absolute professional and someone who takes her work incredibly seriously. She is thorough, kind, and most of all someone I trust implicitly. I could not be happier with my experience thus far and would recommend her to anybody looking for a top dentist!

Why do night-time dental diorders occur?
As mentioned earlier, the main causes for grinding and clenching jaws during sleeping are anxiety and stress. Other causes include suppressed anger, crooked or missing teeth and a misaligned bite. People who suffer from Huntington as well as Parkinson’s diseases also experience nighttime grinding and clenching. Children might also suffer from this problem as they develop teeth but that usually goes away as they grow older.
How do night guards work?
Using a dental night guard is not a hassle at all. All you need to do is to slide the night guard into your mouth before you go to bed. Their functionality is pretty simple. These guards are made of combination of soft and hard material to ensure they do not pose any inconveniences and they make sure that your upper and lower rows do not make contact. The effects of using these dental guards are instant. Since you do not grind and clench your jaw, you will not wake up in the morning with a disturbing headache or sore neck and shoulders.
Dr. Trinh makes HTI type night guards. Originally developed to prevent migraine pain, they have proven to be a superior alternative to full coverage bite guards. They are smaller, as they only cover the front teeth, completed in just one appointment, more comfortable and more effective.
As you can understand, it is very simple to cure your migraines and similar headaches caused by teeth grinding and jaw clenching with the help of dental night guards. We can also help you with any of your oral problems and dental healthcare.
How can I learn more about dental night guards?
For more information about night guards and TMJ treatment in NYC, please call our cosmetic dentist office at 212-505-0295 or schedule an appointment online. Dr. Viviane Trinh and our friendly office staff invite any and all questions.
Oral surgery is usually covered under medical benefits, for instance, while you can use your dental benefits for other treatments. It’s important that you discuss your options so that you can have a good idea of what your out-of-pocket expenses will be.
There is always a chance that even if your insurance provider authorizes a procedure that they do not pay out for it. This doesn’t happen often, but it is something for which you should prepare. If that happens, the dental office staff can work with you on solutions, such as using credit or financing plans.
