TMD/TMJ

TMD/TMJ

Relieve jaw pain and restore your bite balance.

‍

If you’re struggling with frequent jaw pain, headaches, or a clicking sound when you chew, you may be suffering from TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder). At Sherman Oaks Dentistry, we offer customized, non-invasive treatments for TMJ dysfunction that target the root of the problem—bringing comfort, alignment, and long-term relief.

The temporomandibular joint is what allows you to open and close your mouth. When this joint is strained or misaligned, it can affect your ability to eat, speak, and even sleep comfortably. Our TMD treatments are designed to ease discomfort and restore natural jaw function.
