TMD

Many people suffer from frequent (chronic) headaches, back pain, neck pain and stiffness, tired jaws and facial pain. Did you know these symptoms are quite possibly caused by TMD? TMD or temporomandibular joint disorder occurs when the alignment or occlusion does not match with the correct jaw joint or muscle position. Over a period of time the muscles maintain themselves in an altered state of hyperfunction that is perceived in the brain as a “ balanced position “ causing further damage. Dr. Morris can craft an orthotic splint to put your jaw in its correct position by relaxing the muscles and alleviating your symptoms with more predictable results
