TMD / TMJ
TMD/ TMJ Specialist
Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMD (also known as TMJ), is a condition that affects a person’s jaw joint. This temporomandibular joint is a very important component in the mouth – it is responsible for all functions of the jaw, including chewing, eating, and speaking. When the upper and lower jaws do not align properly, the bite is said to be uneven. An uneven bite can create all kinds of problems and is associated with jaw pain, headaches, tooth loss, and even speech problems.
Advanced Neuromuscular Treatment
The good news is that there are neuromuscular dentists who focus on treating TMD / TMJ specifically. Dr. Mike Deldar and Dr. Sohaila Deldar have been assisting Indianapolis patients affected by TMD/ TMJ for many years. The neuromuscular dentistry team at Advanced Cosmetic Dentistry & TMJ uses state-of-the-art diagnostic testing and advanced treatment methods to help people get a balanced bite.
