Jaw Joint Disorders

What is it?

TMJ is short for ‘temporomandibular joint’, also known as the jaw joint. It can be felt by placing your fingers just in front of your ears, and opening and closing your mouth.

Emotional stress and strain may cause prolonged tension in the jaw muscles and possible dysfunction of the TMJ. A disorder may affect one or both joints, often causing pain and limiting jaw function. You may even experience pain when chewing, yawning or opening your mouth wide.

Other Symptoms may include:

Clicking, grating or popping noises from the jaw joints
Headaches
Neck & shoulder pain
Toothache

Orthodontic

What is it?

Correction of misaligned teeth and bite issues to improve both function and aesthetics. Treatments like braces, clear aligners, and retainers help straighten teeth, enhance smiles, and prevent issues like uneven wear or jaw discomfort. Proper alignment also promotes better oral health by making teeth easier to clean and reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.
