TMD/TMJ Relief


Do any of these symptoms sound familiar?
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Neck, back or shoulder pain
  • Worn, chipped or cracking teeth
  • Dental restorations that are cracking, chipping or breaking
  • Unexplained loose teeth
  • Pain or soreness around the jaw joints
  • Numbness in the fingers and arms
  • Sinus problems, congestion, ringing or stuffiness of the ears?

Many of the above can be indications that you suffer from TMD/TMJ disease. In layman's terms, this means a "bad bite" caused by a misaligned jaw joint. The disease can stem from accidents and trauma but also includes underbites and overbites.

Through a series of non-invasive tests involving measurements of your jaw muscles when in motion and at rest, computerized jaw tracking and more, we can help determine the optimal and most comfortable position of your jaw, and confirm whether or not your bite is a contributing factor to your pain.
