At the Centre of Dental Excellence in Stanmore (HA7), many patients come to us with concerns such as jaw pain, clicking or popping noises when opening their mouth, or even difficulty chewing. These are common signs of TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, a condition that affects the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull.
TMJ disorders can be frustrating and sometimes debilitating but with the right care, relief is possible. Our specialist dental team in Stanmore offers advanced TMJ treatments tailored to your needs.
What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) acts like a sliding hinge, allowing you to talk, chew, and yawn. When the joint becomes stressed, injured, or misaligned, it can lead to temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Common causes include:
- Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
- Stress and muscle tension
- Misaligned bite (malocclusion)
- Arthritis in the jaw joint
- Jaw injury or trauma
