TMJ & MAGO Bite Therapy for Advanced Bite Correction

Many bite problems, worn teeth, and jaw pain begin with the jaw joint (TMJ) being out of harmony. Dr. Garner uses a Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthosis (MAGO) — a precision appliance that stabilizes your jaw and allows it to settle into its ideal, comfortable position. Once that position is found, your restorations are designed to maintain it permanently.

By utilizing Panadent articulation to analyze your unique jaw movements, we identify the ideal balance between your current bite and natural joint position (CR vs. CO), then utilize targeted MAGO therapy to safely stabilize your smile.

MAGO Therapy FAQs

What is a MAGO?

A Maxillary Anterior Guided Orthosis (MAGO) is a highly precise, custom-made stabilization appliance designed to guide your jaw joint into its most natural, relaxed position.

The goal of Bioesthetic treatment is to get fixed permanently. To do this we have to match your comfortable, repeatable bite in the MAGO to your teeth. This often requires reshaping of the teeth by either removing tooth structure (selective grinding/equilibration) or by adding to the teeth through bonding, crowns, or veneers. The goal is to get all of the teeth to contact AT THE SAME TIME and function the way nature intended.
