TMJ Treatment
Orthodontic treatment can be a beneficial approach for some individuals experiencing Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders, particularly when the issue stems from bite misalignment or malocclusion. By aligning the teeth and correcting the bite, orthodontic interventions can help reduce strain on the TMJ, potentially alleviating pain and improving jaw function. However, it’s important to note that TMJ disorders are complex, and orthodontic treatment is not always the sole solution.

🎉 31 YEARS with Misti at Orthodontic Associates! 🎉
31 years, so many roles, and countless memories! From orthodontic assistant to treatment coordinator, financial coordinator, and now practice manager—there honestly isn’t much in this office Misti Malanca hasn’t done or learned along the way.
From patient care to team leadership, employee management, property management, and earning her HR certification, every step has helped shape who she is today.
Misti says, “I’m beyond grateful to our amazing doctors for their trust and support, and to my coworkers (past and present) who truly make this office feel like family. Orthodontic Associates has been more than a job—it’s been a huge part of my life. 💙”
“Here’s to 31 years of growth, teamwork, and love for what I do—and many more to come! ✨”
Outside of work, she enjoys time with her family and Renaissance Festivals. 😀
