Effective treatment for healthier, more comfortable jaws
You might have pain or a ‘clicking’ noise in your jaw.
These symptoms appear when the joints of your jaw and your chewing muscles don’t work together like they should.
Your jaws each have a disc made of cartilage. These discs function as the “cushion” of the jaw joint. Injuries to the disc or strain to the muscles from various sources (like grinding, clenching, accidents, or misaligned bite) can lead to TMJ or TMD disorder.
Some types of TMJ can lead to more serious conditions, so early detection is important. Good news: these problems are more easily diagnosed and treated than in the past.
