Expert diagnosis and relief
Jaw problems (TMJ disorders) can cause pain, clicking, locking, and headaches. Our experienced team provides thorough diagnosis and effective treatment to relieve your symptoms and improve quality of life.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jaw to your skull. Disorders can cause jaw pain, clicking/popping sounds, difficulty opening the mouth, headaches, and ear pain. Causes include teeth grinding, stress, arthritis, or jaw injury.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
We conduct a thorough examination including assessment of jaw movement, joint sounds, muscle tenderness, and bite analysis. X-rays or scans may be taken to evaluate the joint structure.
Diagnosis
Treatment may include custom bite splints (night guards), physiotherapy exercises, bite adjustments, medication, or Botox injections to relax the jaw muscles. Most patients find significant relief with conservative treatment.
