TMJ Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a complex joint that connects the jaw to the temporal bone. It allows for up-and-down and side-to-side movements, enabling us to talk, chew, and yawn.
Pain relief
Treating TMJ is essential for alleviating pain in the jaw, face, neck, and head caused by temporomandibular joint dysfunction.
A customised solution
In treating TMJ, we consider each patient individually. Our team of experts conducts a precise diagnosis and tailors the therapy to address the specific issues of each patient.
The quality of life
TMJ treatment improves the quality of life by eliminating unpleasant symptoms such as headaches, difficulty opening the mouth, and jaw clicking, enabling normal chewing and speaking.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders
Many people experience some form of temporomandibular joint disorder. Although these issues often do not hinder normal function, it is beneficial to recognize, address, or at least mitigate them. This prevents damage to the joint and related tissues, including the teeth.
Common Causes of TMJ
TMJ problems can arise from various factors, including joint injury, jaw or surrounding muscle trauma, nighttime teeth grinding, disc damage within the joint, stress causing constant muscle tension, misaligned bite, and arthritis.
