Relief From Chronic Jaw Pain & Headaches
Whenever you open and close your mouth, does it sound like you’re making popcorn because of all the popping and clicking coming from your jaw?

Diagnosis & Treatment
A TMD can be brought on by many different factors, but the most common tend to be stress, strain on the joint, injury, arthritis, and a misaligned bite that places excess pressure on the jaw muscles and ligaments. When a patient exhibits or reports the symptoms of a TMD, we’ll perform a number of tests and take X-rays to find out exactly what is causing the issue. From there, we can prescribe a therapeutic oral appliance or rebalance the bite to improve function and stop any pain.
