Dr. Musso takes a modern approach to orthodontics, making sure that the airway is not compromised when straightening your teeth. You can have peace of mind when being treated by Dr. Musso - he will not only ensure you have a beautiful smile, but a healthy airway as well.

Braces are an orthodontic treatment option that can help you achieve a straighter, healthier smile.. One of the most common orthodontic treatments available, braces work to improve your smile by gradually and gently realigning your teeth.

Braces consist of a system of metal brackets, wires, and bands. The brackets are attached to the front of your teeth and are connected to each other through the use of a metal wire and bands. As we adjust the wire, the braces guide your teeth to their ideal position in your mouth.

TMJ/TMD

The underlying cause of much face and jaw pain is a condition called TMD, or temporomandibular joint disorder. While this might sound like a mouthful, it basically refers to a problem with your jaw joint. Whether due to stress, injury, or arthritis, the muscles and nerves of the jaw can become strained and tense, and this can often radiate into the face to create pain in the cheeks and head.

After giving a patient a thorough exam, Dr. Musso will diagnose what’s happening in your jaw joint and help eliminate the pain by utilizing a variety of methods. Our goal is to find the root case of the pain and discomfort and help alleviate your jaw pain.
