TMJ disorder, which stands for temporomandibular joint dysfunction, includes a range of conditions that result in tenderness and pain in the temporomandibular joint. Your temporomandibular join is the join that connects your jaw to your skull.

Disorders may develop for a multitude of reasons including grinding teeth, stressing the TM joint or tightening the jaw muscles. The result is a misaligned bite, pain, the inability to fully open the mouth or a clicking or grating sound when the mouth is opened.

Our doctors at MIC specialise in treatments to improve the harmony and function of the jaw. We will conduct an evaluation to confirm the diagnosis of TMJ disorder, before determining the right treatment. 

It is important to note that TMJ disorder treatments always works best with a team approach, which combines self-care with professional supervision.
