What is TMJ Disorder?
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is located on each side of your face, just in front of your ears. It allows your jaw to move smoothly so you can talk, chew, and yawn. When this joint becomes inflamed, overused, or misaligned, it can lead to pain, limited jaw movement, and clicking sounds — this is called TMJ Disorder or TMD.
Our TMJ Treatment Services
TMJ Pain Diagnosis & Bite Analysis
We begin with a detailed clinical evaluation, jaw function assessment, and bite alignment analysis to determine the root cause of your TMJ pain. We use advanced diagnostic tools and, if necessary, recommend imaging like CBCT or MRI.
Occlusal Splints / Night Guards
Custom-made bite guards or splints are designed to reduce jaw pressure, prevent teeth grinding (bruxism), and relieve strain on the TMJ while you sleep.
Jaw Muscle Relaxation Therapy
We use non-invasive physiotherapy techniques and guided muscle relaxation exercises to relieve stiffness, improve jaw mobility, and reduce pain.
Medications & Trigger Point Therapy
Anti-inflammatory medications and targeted injections or trigger point therapy may be recommended for short-term relief from pain and muscle spasms.
Bite Correction / Dental Rehabilitation
For patients with misaligned bites or missing teeth, we provide occlusal adjustments, crowns, or dental restorations to correct the bite and restore jaw harmony.
Stress & Habit Counseling
Since stress and habits like clenching or grinding contribute to TMD, we offer guidance and behavior modification support to help patients manage contributing factors naturally.
