What the Tokushinkai Group can do
We provide medication and bite alignment treatment, but we do not offer surgical treatment because it requires hospitalization. In addition, although symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder can be alleviated through treatment, it is very difficult to completely cure the condition. All treatments are covered by insurance.
We will make a decision after examining your oral cavity, so please feel free to consult us.
