Your jaw is a hardworking mechanism, hinged by the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull. When it isn’t working correctly, it can lead to pain, discomfort, and even issues with daily activities like chewing or speaking. At Miles of Smiles, we understand how difficult it can be to function with TMJ issues on a day-to-day basis. That’s why we provide personalized TMJ treatment plans designed to relieve symptoms, restore comfort, and improve overall oral health.
