A Non-Invasive Path to Optimal Jaw Health
Your chewing system is a complex structure that includes your jaw joint, cartilage, ligaments, and teeth—all working together in harmony. When misaligned, this system can cause soreness, headaches, muscle discomfort, and joint deterioration. A nighttime orthotic is a minimally invasive treatment that aligns joints to their proper position, allowing smooth movement of the teeth while maintaining stability.

If you suffer from chronic jaw pain, headaches, or bite misalignment, your dental health could be at the root of the problem. At PCCD, we offer personalized dental orthopedic treatments, including nighttime orthotics and MAGO Splint Therapy, designed to restore balance and stability to your jaw joints.
A MAGO (Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthotic) is a custom-made appliance that helps stabilize the jaw joints, allowing for proper alignment and function. This therapy is an advanced diagnostic and therapeutic approach that helps identify and resolve imbalances within your chewing system.
A nighttime orthotic is a custom-fitted device worn while sleeping, designed to center the jaw joint in a stable position and allow for smooth movement of the teeth. By properly aligning the joint, it helps reduce stress on the muscles, preventing further damage and discomfort.
