What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for Temporomandibular Joint—the hinge that connects your jawbone (mandible) to the temporal bones of your skull, located on each side of your face. This joint allows vital movements like chewing, speaking, yawning, and opening or closing your mouth.
When issues arise in this joint, it can lead to Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), often causing pain, clicking sounds, or restricted jaw movement.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
TMJ Disorder, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD), is a condition that affects the joints connecting your jawbone to your skull. These joints are essential for everyday functions like chewing, speaking, and yawning.
When the TMJ or surrounding muscles become inflamed, misaligned, or damaged, it can result in pain, stiffness, jaw clicking, or difficulty moving the jaw—all symptoms commonly associated with TMD.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder (TMD):
Jaw pain or tenderness
Locking of the jaw joint, making it hard to open or close the mouth
Aching pain in or around the ear
Difficulty or discomfort while chewing
Facial swelling (often on one side)
Frequent headaches or migraines
Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when moving the jaw
What Causes TMJ Disorder (TMD)?
Trauma – Injuries to the jaw, face, or head can directly damage the TMJ.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding or Clenching) – Often occurring during sleep, this habit places excessive stress on the jaw joint.
Arthritis – Both inflammatory (like rheumatoid arthritis) and degenerative (like osteoarthritis) conditions can affect the TMJ.
Stress – Chronic stress can lead to jaw clenching and muscle tension, aggravating the joint.
Misalignment – Malocclusion (poor bite) or misaligned teeth can interfere with proper jaw joint function.
Treatment for TMD at Dr. Nikhil’s Smile Studio:
We take a holistic, non-surgical approach to treating Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD). Our goal is to restore harmony between your jaw joint and surrounding muscles through customized, conservative care tailored to your unique condition.
Our treatment options include:
Splint Therapy – Custom-made night guards or stabilization splints to relieve jaw strain, prevent teeth grinding (bruxism), and guide proper jaw alignment.
Occlusal Corrections – Adjusting bite irregularities that can contribute to TMJ dysfunction.
Equilibration – Fine-tuning the biting surfaces of your teeth for a more balanced and comfortable bite.
Orthodontic Treatment – Braces or aligners to correct misaligned teeth and reduce stress on the jaw joint.
Full Mouth Rehabilitation (FMR) – A comprehensive approach combining restorative and bite correction procedures to enhance overall jaw function.
Lifestyle-Based Therapies – Stress management, physical therapy, and postural adjustments—all without altering your natural tooth structure.
We understand how frustrating it is when simple daily activities—chewing, speaking, yawning—become painful. That’s why we’re here: to help you regain comfort, function, and confidence with effective, gentle care.
