TMD Therapy
TMD Therapy in Vaughan
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, headaches, popping or clicking in your jaw, or difficulty chewing, you may be suffering from a temporomandibular disorder (TMD). At our Vaughan dental clinic, we provide advanced TMD therapy designed to address the root cause of your discomfort not just the symptoms. Our team offers comprehensive TMD treatment Ontario residents can trust, using evidence-based dentistry, modern diagnostics, and personalized care.
What Is TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder)?
TMD refers to a group of conditions that affect the temporomandibular joints (TMJ), jaw muscles, and surrounding structures. These joints allow your jaw to move when you chew, speak, yawn, and swallow, so when they are not functioning properly, it can significantly impact your quality of life.
TMD vs TMJ: What’s the Difference?
- TMJ = the joint
- TMD = the disorder affecting the joint and surrounding muscles
