TMJ Jaw Pain: Comprehensive Care
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJ) is a condition affecting the joint that connects your jaw to your skull, leading to discomfort, jaw pain, and other complications.

Renowned for their expertise and compassionate care, our team is dedicated to helping patients regain their quality of life through cutting-edge technology and personalized treatment plans.
Understanding TMJ Disorder
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, connecting the jawbone to the skull. TMJ disorders can arise from various factors, such as injury, arthritis, teeth grinding, or jaw misalignment. Common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness.
- Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw.
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth.
- Headaches or earaches.
- Facial pain or swelling.
Causes of TMJ Disorder
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Persistent clenching or grinding of teeth can strain the jaw muscles and TMJ.
- Arthritis: Inflammation in the joint due to osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can lead to TMJ issues.
- Injury: Trauma to the jaw or face can damage the joint or surrounding muscles.
- Jaw Misalignment: Misaligned teeth or bite issues can contribute to uneven pressure on the joint.
- Stress: Chronic stress often leads to muscle tension, which can exacerbate TMJ symptoms.
TMJ Treatment Options at Esthetica Advanced Dental Clinic
1. Non-Invasive Treatments
- Custom-Made Night Guards: Protect teeth from grinding and reduce strain on the TMJ.
- Physical Therapy: Exercises to strengthen jaw muscles and improve mobility.

- Stress Management: Techniques like meditation and counseling to reduce jaw tension.
2. Advanced Treatments
- Laser Therapy: Reduces inflammation, relieves pain, and promotes tissue healing.
