Product Description
Since 1936, Temporomanidibular Joint Disorder (TMJD) has been primarily treated by dentists; however today, we know TMJD to be a complex condition with many biological systems playing a role: circulatory, digestive, endocrine, exocrine, immune, muscular, nervous, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal. TMJD is usually temporary but sometimes the pain persists.
