Temporomandibular joint dysfuntion(TMD) also referred to as Myofascial Pain Dysfunction(MPD) or temporomandibular joint syndrom(TJS). This is a chronic illess that effects 75 million people at one time. There are many people who have no pain but still have occlusal disease (misaligned bite). Worn,chipped or broken teeth, broken fillings, changing position or shape of the smile are all indications that can benefit from treatment.

As a chronic degenerative disorder, it may take years to develop. We have new techniques that can help many that have been unable to find relief.

People who suffer from TMD have a structural imbalance in their jaw-to-skull relationship. This is caused by a bad bite (malocusslusion), which causes the following:

  • Alteration of the position of the TMJ placing excessive pressure on the joint and tissues around them.
  • Twisting the jaw into a strained position. This affects the muscles in the face, back, neck and shoulders.
To correct this, the jaw is bought back into a muscularly balanced position. In most cases, we can do this without surgery or braces
