TMJ disorder is a common condition that is associated with jaw joint pain, bite changes, and jaw-clicking sounds. Many people also experience facial and neck pain or headaches.

Our Approach

We will fabricate a specific custom-made orthotic appliance that you have to wear for a few months. This appliance will reduce and possibly completely eliminate any inflammation in the jaw joints.
