Seek Non-Surgical TMJ Treatment From The Experts
Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which attaches your lower jaw to your skull, is one of the most complex in your body. The ball-in-socket design is how you’re able to move your lower jaw in virtually any direction and comfortably bite and chew foods, talk, yawn, and live your life freely. If this joint is dislocated or damaged, it can lead to chronic jaw and joint pain, headaches, teeth grinding and clenching, sore facial muscles, popping and clicking during movement, and even joint immobility and lock jaw.
What to Expect After TMJ Treatment
- Improved jaw and joint function
- Balanced and healthy dental occlusion
- Ability to eat a varied diet
- Reduced or eliminated jaw and joint pain
- Improve breathing and sleep apnea symptoms
