The condyles of your lower jaw that form the jaw joints, (TMJ) in front of your ears can be incorrectly positioned thus causing painful symptoms. Many times this incorrect positioning of the condyle is caused by an incorrect bite or some other type of tooth interference. When the condyle is positioned too far up into the joint, small blood vessels and nerves that go to the brain are pinched off thus causing neck pain, migraine headaches or chronic headaches. The clicking and popping sounds are a symptom that the condyle is not correctly positioned in the joint.

We offer many treatment options that can give instant long-term pain relief. These options range from wearing a small acrylic splint that fits over the biting surfaces of the teeth to special orthodontic types of retainers that are worn during the day and night. Some times traditional orthodontics with brackets and wires are required to successfully treat the Temporal Mandibular Joint, (TMJ) problem.

We have successfully treated many patients who are now pain-free from migraines, headaches and joint pain and popping.
