WHAT IS TMJ/TMD?
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) works like a sliding hinge between jaw and skull. When this joint or its supporting muscles become stressed, it’s called TMD which causes pain, clicks or limited movement.
COMMON SIGNS
Jaw, face or ear pain
Frequent headaches
Aligns bite for easier chewing and speech
Trouble chewing or opening wide
Night time grinding or muscle spasms

Digital scans & bite analysis pinpoint the root cause.
Custom night guard
Protects teeth and relaxes jaw muscles.
Orthodontic correction
Braces or aligners to balance the bite when needed.
At home tips
