Clinical Overview
Custom orthodontic splints and therapy to treat Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). We relieve jaw pain, clicking sounds, locking jaws, and chew-muscle fatigue by unburdening the joint discs.
TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) can cause severe pain, clicking sounds, and locked jaws. Our customized splint therapy utilizes therapeutic orthotics to reposition the jaw joint, unload the TMJ disk, and relax hyperactive chewing muscles, providing fast, lasting relief from pain and stiffness.

Frequently Asked Questions
What causes TMD?
TMD can be caused by teeth grinding, emotional stress, misaligned bites, or trauma to the jaw joint.
What is a TMD splint?
It is a custom orthotic appliance worn over your teeth. It prevents clenching, unloads the jaw joint, and trains muscles to relax.

Many patients experience significant pain relief within 2 to 4 weeks, with full joint stabilization taking 3 to 6 months of therapy.
