Orthodontics
Orthodontics is the speciality within dentistry that focuses on improper bites and problems that can lead to muscle soreness, pain in the face or jaws, damaged teeth and headaches. It is often the case that the patient isn’t aware of the problem, but wakes up with headaches or feels tired.
Treatment with mouthguards is a common and effective therapy for patients with pain or functional problems from jaws or muscles. They can also be used to prevent continued damage to the teeth caused by improper bites.
