questions

What Is Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is responsible for everyday jaw movements like speaking, eating, and yawning.
When this joint becomes misaligned or irritated, it can lead to a condition known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) — often accompanied by a range of painful and disruptive symptoms.

Common Symptoms of TMD

Here are the most frequent signs to watch for:
• Chronic headaches or severe migraines
• Jaw pain or clicking sounds
• Jaw locking or difficulty opening the mouth
• Pain in the ears or sinuses
• Discomfort while chewing
• Stiffness in the facial or neck muscles

Common Causes of TMD

• Displacement or wear of the jaw disc
• Facial injuries or trauma
• Arthritis affecting the joint
• Teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching
• Emotional stress and tension
• Connective tissue disorders

TMD Treatment
at Our Clinic

1. Botox Therapy: Relief from the Very First Session
Botox is a highly effective and widely used treatment for TMJ (TMD) pain.
It works by relaxing the overactive jaw muscles and preventing teeth grinding — significantly reducing pressure and pain.

Many of our patients have found lasting relief from chronic headaches after years of suffering, all thanks to this fast, safe, and minimally invasive treatment.

2. Personalized Treatment Options Based on Your Needs

Occlusal Splint (Night Guard)
Worn during sleep to protect your teeth and reduce pressure on the jaw joint.

Invisalign Clear Aligners
If your TMD is caused by bite misalignment, orthodontic treatment with Invisalign may be the ideal solution.

Surgical Referral (for Rare Cases)
In severe cases, we’ll refer you to a trusted oral and maxillofacial surgeon to ensure you receive the specialized care you need.
