You’ll chew and speak more comfortably.
The temporomandibular joint is the hinge that connects your lower jaw to your upper jaw, allowing you to chew, speak, and yawn. TMJ disorders can happen for many reasons, such as nighttime teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, injuries, stress-related jaw clenching, poorly fitted dentures, crowns and bridges, or simply wear and tear over time.
When this joint becomes strained or misaligned, it can result in TMJ disorders, with symptoms like:
Ignoring TMJ disorders can lead to worsening pain and problems with daily tasks like eating, talking, or even swallowing. Over time, it may result in jaw stiffness or a ‘locked jaw.’ Acting early helps you avoid long-term complications and ensures you maintain a good quality of life.
Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and difficulty moving your jaw. If you notice these signs, it’s best to consult a dentist for a thorough check-up.
The time it takes depends on how severe your condition is. Non-invasive options like mouthguards often bring relief within weeks, but complex cases may take longer.
Not at all! We design your jaw joint treatments to minimise discomfort. Non-invasive methods are usually painless, and for advanced procedures, we use numbing and sedation to keep you completely comfortable.
We understand that jaw joint treatments might feel overwhelming. Concerns about lifestyle changes, treatments, or even surgery are normal. That’s why we focus on making the process as smooth and reassuring as possible:
