Headaches – even migraines – and pain in the face, neck, and jaw are sometimes caused by an improper bite and pathological position of the jaw joint. TMD, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction, is misalignment of the bite, and this condition contributes to improper function of the jaw joints and muscles of mastication sometimes causing headaches or jaw aches. At Smile Maker USA, Dr. Safavi and her associates offer many therapies including finding the therapeutic and physiologic location of the joint by relaxing the muscles and fabricating orthotic which can sometimes aid relief in some situtations to your TMJ pain and migraine headaches associated with the TMJ.
