A doctor that specializes in this is gnathologist.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1034\" data-end=\"1196\">A gnathologist is a dental specialist who studies how your teeth, jaw joints, and muscles work together. Unlike general dentists, gnathologists focus on the function and harmony of the bite \u2014 analyzing how even small imbalances can lead to pain, muscle tension, or facial asymmetry.<\/p>\n<p
