Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can affect your ability to eat, speak, and live comfortably. At our multispecialty dental clinic, we take a collaborative approach to TMJ treatment—bringing together prosthodontists, orthodontists, and oral surgeons to provide personalized, targeted care all under one roof.
TMJ disorder is a condition that affects the hinge joint connecting your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to:
Common causes include teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, jaw injuries, stress, and improper bite alignment.
TMJ disorders are complex and often require a combination of solutions. Our integrated team of specialists work closely to ensure the best outcomes for each patient:
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeons
Address structural joint issues through advanced imaging, diagnosis, and surgical interventions when needed.
Orthodontists
Use braces or aligners to correct bite discrepancies and relieve TMJ pressure.
Prosthodontists:
Design occlusal splints, bite guards, and restorations (like crowns or bridges) to optimize bite alignment and reduce joint strain.
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty moving your jaw, you may have TMJ dysfunction. Our team will assess your symptoms and use imaging like 3D scans or X-rays for an accurate diagnosis.
TMJ issues can result from teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, arthritis, trauma, or even chronic stress.
Surgery is typically a last resort. Most TMJ conditions are managed successfully with non invasive treatments.
TMJ treatment varies based on severity and type. Your specialist will walk you through a personalized plan and timeline after your consultation.
