Orthodontic treatment involves the use of braces, aligners, or other appliances to correct misalignments of your teeth and jaw. The goal of orthodontic treatment is to: Realign the Jaw: Correcting misaligned teeth & jaws can alleviate stress on the TMJ & reduce discomfort. Improve Bite Alignment: Proper bite alignment distributes forces evenly throughout the jaw, reducing strain on the TMJ. Address Teeth Grinding: Orthodontic treatment can help improve the alignment of your teeth which may lessen teeth grinding habits.

If you are experiencing symptoms of TMD, consult with a dentist experienced in treating TMD-related issues. Orthodontic treatment can provide long-lasting relief from TMD symptoms and improve the overall function of your smile after complete evaluation.
