TMJ Treatment
Our dentists have completed training from a Korean society for TMJ and occlusion — the Yonseirian team is here to help.
TMJ disorders relate to how the teeth meet (occlusion);
the jaw joint disc, facial muscles and the overall condition of the mouth
must all be considered in this field of dentistry.
For oral habits you may not even be aware of, muscle tension and bite problems,
a TMD diagnostic examination, medication and non-invasive
conservative treatment can help with jaw pain, clicking sounds, limited mouth opening and other
problems.
