Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons can address structural issues of the jaw joint through surgical interventions such as arthrocentesis or arthroscopic surgery, when necessary.
Orthodontists who are experts in treatments like braces or Invisalign, which help correct bite imbalances that contribute to TMJ dysfunction.
