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 Mortiboys Dental Spa 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 01483 281428 to book a consultation today.

Very good experience with both the hygienist and the dentist offering some excellent advice. I am taking on board their recommendations and look forward to more excellent outcomes. Having been with Mortibuoys for over 20years I can thoroughly recommend their friending and efficient service

Efficient, helpful, polite.

Ranya is a brilliant dentist and the most important thing when I moved dental practice was to be able to continue being treated by her. That said, it has meant that I have now met Clare the hygienist- I thought my previous hygienist at the previous practice was fantastic and Clare is of the same high standard

No waiting time, quick and efficient appointment. Hygienist was respectful and said if it hurt I could stop at any point, but didn't hurt at all during the appointment.
