What is TMJ Disorder?

Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a complex condition that arises from imbalances in the jaw, muscles, and jaw joint. These imbalances can be caused by various factors, such as misaligned teeth, teeth grinding, stress, or trauma, and can lead to a wide range of symptoms that impact daily life. Common symptoms associated with TMD include headaches, migraines, facial pain, jaw joint clicking or popping, difficulty chewing, and even earaches. Additionally, TMD can contribute to neck and back pain, tooth sensitivity, and fractured or worn-out teeth, further complicating an individual’s oral health and overall well-being. Diagnosing and treating TMD requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account each patient’s unique presentation and contributing factors.

Effective TMD management encompass customized oral appliances, physical therapy, stress management techniques and medication to treat TMJ Disorders.

These interventions aim to restore balance and function to the jaw, muscles, and jaw joint, providing long-term relief and an improved quality of life.
