What is TMJ/TMD?

Your temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect the jaw to the skull. TMD (temporomandibular disorders) include problems with the joint, disc, or chewing muscles—causing pain, clicking, limited opening, headaches, or ear fullness.

Common Symptoms

  • Jaw pain or tightness; pain on chewing or waking
  • Clicking/popping or locking (open/closed)
  • Limited mouth opening; deviation when opening
  • Headaches, temple pain, ear pain/fullness, neck/shoulder tension
  • Tooth wear from clenching/grinding (bruxism)

Frequently Asked Questions

It often reduces pain and protects teeth, but lasting relief also needs habit change, stress control, and muscle/physio work.

Clicks are common and not always harmful. If painless and stable, we monitor. Pain, locking, or limited opening need treatment—usually conservative.

Many feel improvement within 2–4 weeks with splint + exercises + habits. Complex cases may take longer and need phased care.

Prolonged open-mouth sessions or high spots on new fillings/crowns can trigger flares. We check and adjust your bite if needed.

No—only during flares. Once symptoms settle and strength returns, you can gradually reintroduce firmer foods.
