TMJ disorder

TMJ disorder (or Temporo-Mandibular Joint dysfunction) is where the joint that allows the jaw to open and close is misaligned or overworked.

Problems with the function of this joint are common, with symptoms including joint pain, clicking or popping of the jaw, limited opening, earaches and headaches.

It can be caused by:

  • Unbalanced bite
  • Unbalanced dental work
  • Increased muscle activity
  • Increased sensitivity to pain
  • Wear and tear to the inside of the joint
  • Certain types of arthritis
  • Injury

Recommended treatment for TMJ disorder is dependent on individual circumstances, considering the severity of the problem and the cause. Common treatments include:

  • Rest
  • Exercises
  • Physical Therapy
  • Pain Killers
  • Habit control - with the use of night time splits
  • Use of a bite splint to help the jaw muscles relax
  • Manual adjustment of the bite by grinding the teeth - occlusal adjustment
  • Reconstructive dentistry
  • Orthodontics

Your Envisage Dental West Moors dentist will examine the physical functionality of the joint, as well as the internal health of the soft tissue within the mouth. X-rays and scans may also be used in order to obtain a full overview of functionality and determine the best course of treatment for your individual case.

If you are suffering from joint pain or have any concerns with your jaw function, give us a call on 01202 871053 to book a consultation today.
