At Smiles By Smith Orthodontics, our orthodontist and team understand the importance of providing gentle and effective care for TMJ issues in Pittsburgh, Fox Chapel and Allison Park, Pennsylvania.

Personalized TMJ Care for Lasting Relief
Each patient’s TMJ disorder can stem from different causes, including stress-related habits, misaligned teeth or arthritis. We thoroughly evaluate each case with careful examination and advanced diagnostic technology. This comprehensive approach allows us to create tailored treatment plans that address the root causes of jaw pain.
Some key aspects of TMJ treatment may include:
