Orthodontics
TMJ & Joint Pain Therapy
Custom nightguards and physical therapies to eliminate jaw locking and clicking.
Clinical Overview
Chronic jaw clenching, night grinding (bruxism), and TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) disorders cause persistent headaches, joint clicking, and neck tension. We construct custom orthodontic splints and nightguards to relieve joint pressure.
Key Advantages
Clinical Standards
We maintain premium diagnostic tools — computerized rotary endodontic files, guided implant systems, and monitored sterilization cycles.
Process
Your Treatment Journey
Joint Mobility Assessment
We evaluate jaw range of motion, muscle tenderness, and listen for joint clicks or snaps.
Bite Registration
We capture your precise occlusal alignment to record joint resting dynamics.
Nightguard Splint Fabrication
A custom-molded, hard-acrylic dental splint is printed to keep jaw joints perfectly decompressed.
Bite Adjustment Checks
We check the splint every few weeks, adjusting contact points to secure perfect muscle release.
