Whether you’re dealing with chronic jaw pain, clicking or locking of the jaw, or frequent headaches, our team is here to help.

What is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder refers to a dysfunction in the joints connecting your jawbone to your skull, which can lead to a range of symptoms, including jaw pain, stiffness, headaches, earaches, and difficulty moving the jaw. TMJ issues can arise from various causes, such as teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw injury, arthritis, or poor bite alignment. Left untreated, TMJ disorder can worsen, leading to increased pain and limited jaw mobility.

How We Treat TMJ Disorders

Our TMJ treatments focus on relieving pain and restoring proper jaw function. Depending on your symptoms and the severity of your condition, we may recommend a variety of treatment options, including custom-made night guards to prevent teeth grinding, bite adjustments, or even physical therapy exercises to relax and strengthen the jaw muscles. In more advanced cases, additional treatments like Botulinum toxin injections or referrals to specialists for joint surgery may be recommended.

Benefits of TMJ Treatment

Effective TMJ treatment can significantly improve your quality of life by relieving chronic jaw pain, headaches, and tension in the neck and shoulders. It can also restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably and prevent further damage to your teeth and jaw joint. By addressing the underlying cause of your TMJ disorder, our goal is to provide long-lasting relief and help you maintain optimal oral health.

At our practice, we take a personalised approach to TMJ treatment, starting with a thorough evaluation of your symptoms and jaw function.
