Understanding Orthopedic Dysfunction in Relation to TMJ
At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of New England, we strive to provide comprehensive information and top-notch care for individuals suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders.
Orthopedic dysfunction refers to the misalignment or improper function of the musculoskeletal system, particularly in the context of the jaw joint and surrounding structures. In the case of TMJ disorders, orthopedic dysfunction commonly involves issues such as misaligned jaw joints, muscle imbalances, and abnormal bite patterns. These dysfunctions can result in a range of debilitating symptoms that affect daily life.
Common Symptoms of Orthopedic Dysfunction:
- Chronic jaw pain or tenderness
- Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds in the jaw joint
- Limited jaw movement or locking
- Headaches, neck pain, or earaches
- Facial muscle fatigue or spasms
- Tooth wear or damage due to clenching or grinding

Beautiful experience. My third child, was my first with ties. Dr. Kaplan took his time showing me images of my sons ties and explaining them to me so I understood them more. He also made the atmosphere very comfortable! We had all 3 ties released (tongue, lip, and cheek) done in about 10 minutes. Dr. Kaplan checked in with me about 5 minutes after the procedure and explained everything to me about follow up appointments with lactation and chiro and how to massage my babies mouth post-op. Highly recommend for infant tie issues!

Dr. David is by far one of the most compassionate dentists I have ever met. Dr. David and her team have a thirst for knowledge and are constantly furthering their education. I would highly recommend the TMJ & Sleep Centre of New England if you have any TMJ/Sleep needs.

I have only been for initial exam and consultation, so this review is for that. I love the office. They have great technology and a nice ambiance if you can believe it. Pretty rare to find a dentist with nice views but I had beautiful trees to look at outside the window while I sat in the chair. The tech and dentist were so caring and really listened to me and took their time to make me feel at ease. I have had some less than savory and even traumatic experiences at other dentists , I can say that I feel very comfortable and trusting with Dr David. I think she is a brilliant doctor who really cares about people and looks at the whole picture , not just your teeth. I’m happy I found her and ready to start my treatment plan. This is by far not the cheapest dentist but I only have one set of teeth, so trusting myself to the best.
