Most patients arrive after years of treatment that never found the cause. These are the patterns Dr. Solomon sees most, and each one traces back to how the jaw joint sits and moves.
Dr. Solomon treats beyond symptoms, identifying the underlying structural issues behind TMJ disorders, jaw dysfunction, and craniofacial imbalance. These are the issues other providers miss, and he finds them through advanced diagnostics and personalized treatment protocols. His Los Angeles practice draws patients who travel from around the world for it.
Diagnostics that find overlooked causes of facial pain
Dr. Solomon examines jaw function, bite alignment, and symptom patterns alongside your medical history. CBCT imaging reveals joint inflammation, disc displacement, and muscle imbalance invisible to standard examination.

Personalized Treatment Design
Your protocol addresses the identified problems through proven techniques. Dr. Solomon explains each phase clearly, setting realistic expectations for your timeline and long-term jaw stabilization.
03
Neuromuscular Diagnostic Testing
Specialized instrumentation measures muscle activity, jaw tracking, and optimal jaw positioning, pinpointing exactly where the dysfunction originates and forming the foundation of your treatment.
04
Active Treatment Phase
Whether through oral appliances, bite correction, or therapeutic injections, treatment begins immediately. Pain and jaw tension reduce gradually as the system rebalances into proper alignment.

After years of debilitating migraines, I finally found real answers. Dr. Solomon identified jaw issues three neurologists missed. Within two months of treatment, my migraines dropped from weekly to maybe once every few months. I have my life back.

I wore a CPAP for sleep apnea for five years and hated every minute. Dr. Solomon's oral appliance changed everything. Now I sleep through the night, my energy is incredible, and my wife says I don't snore anymore. Genuinely life-changing.

The jaw pain and clicking were constant reminders something was wrong. Dr. Solomon's thorough evaluation found problems I didn't even realize I had. The treatment was comfortable, and now my jaw moves smoothly without any discomfort. Worth every visit.

What Sets This Practice Apart
Dr. Sid Solomon, DDS
A foundation of specialized training, diagnostic precision, and patient-centered care that mainstream dentistry rarely provides. The neuromuscular approach treats the entire craniofacial system rather than isolated symptoms, addressing problems most providers cannot identify or accurately diagnose.
With advanced certifications in TMJ disorders and GNM orthopedics, Dr. Solomon uses diagnostic technology that measures muscle function and jaw positioning with scientific accuracy. This data-driven methodology eliminates guesswork, building treatment plans on objective evidence.
That precision extends beyond the operatory. Dr. Solomon is the inventor of UniTox®, the only FDA-approved BOTOX® syringe, now used by clinicians around the world. It is the same exacting standard he brings to a bite, applied to the instrument itself.

What makes TMJ treatment different from regular dental care?
TMJ therapy addresses jaw joint dysfunction, temporomandibular muscle imbalances, and bite instability that cause pain, headaches, and limited movement. Unlike routine dentistry focused only on teeth, TMJ treatment corrects the entire jaw system's mechanics through specialized appliances, neuromuscular bite adjustments, and jaw retraining for lasting relief.
How do I know if my symptoms are actually TMJ-related?
Common indicators include jaw clicking, difficulty chewing, frequent tension headaches, ear fullness without infection, neck tightness, and chronic facial pain. A comprehensive evaluation includes muscle palpation, range-of-motion testing, bite analysis, and advanced imaging to confirm whether temporomandibular dysfunction is the source.
Can TMJ treatment help with migraines and chronic headaches?
Often, yes. Many chronic headaches and migraines stem from jaw misalignment, which leads to muscle overcompensation and nerve compression in the temporomandibular region. Patients frequently experience significant migraine and headache relief as the jaw system stabilizes into proper alignment.
How long does treatment take to show results?
Most patients notice initial improvement within two to four weeks as muscles relax, inflammation decreases, and jaw movement becomes smoother. Full stabilization typically occurs over three to six months. Duration varies with the severity of your disorder and your individual healing response.
Does insurance cover TMJ treatment and sleep apnea appliances?
Many PPO medical plans cover TMJ therapy and sleep apnea oral appliances, since these address medical rather than cosmetic conditions. Dr. Solomon is a dentist and is not in network with any medical insurance plan. As a courtesy, we provide the superbill, claim form, and letter of medical necessity for you to submit to your provider, and any payment goes to you. Flexible payment options are available regardless of insurance.
