Understanding TMJ & TMD
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When issues arise in this joint or the surrounding muscles, it’s known as temporomandibular disorder (TMD). TMD can affect your ability to chew, speak, and sleep comfortably, often leading to discomfort in the jaw, face, head, and neck.
TMD has many possible causes, including teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, injury, arthritis, or stress. Left untreated, it can impact your quality of life and overall health. Fortunately, there are modern, non-surgical solutions that can help.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
If you experience one or more of these issues on a regular basis, TMD may be the cause:
- Clicking or locking jaw when opening or closing your mouth
- Jaw or facial discomfort
- Headaches or migraines
- Earaches or pressure behind the eyes
- Neck, shoulder, or upper back tension
- Difficulty chewing or talking
- Worn, chipped, or sensitive teeth from clenching or grinding
Personalized TMJ Treatment Options
At Wing Dental Centre, we understand that TMJ disorders can affect every aspect of your day, from chewing and speaking to sleeping and concentrating. That’s why we take a personalized, whole-body approach to TMJ management.
After a detailed exam and bite assessment, we’ll build a treatment plan tailored to your symptoms, lifestyle, and the underlying causes of your discomfort. Depending on your needs, your TMJ care plan may include a combination of different therapies.
If teeth grinding or jaw clenching is straining your TMJ, a custom mouthguard may help. These devices are designed to fit your mouth precisely and position your jaw in a more relaxed, natural state while you sleep.
By minimizing pressure on the joint and reducing muscle overuse, they can significantly ease pain and protect your teeth from further damage.
For patients dealing with tight, overactive jaw muscles, neuromodulator injections (such as Botox) can provide targeted relief.
This minimally invasive treatment works by relaxing the muscles responsible for clenching and grinding, helping to reduce jaw pain, tension headaches, and limited jaw mobility. Results are temporary but can be a helpful part of your overall care plan.
To help you manage flare-ups or acute discomfort, we may prescribe anti-inflammatory medications, muscle relaxants, or other options. While not a long-term solution, medications can support your comfort during the early phases of treatment or while other therapies take effect.
A misaligned bite can place uneven pressure on the TMJ, leading to pain, popping, and joint dysfunction. If your bite is contributing to your symptoms, we may recommend orthodontic treatment to reposition the teeth and jaws. Correcting alignment not only improves function but can also help prevent future joint problems.
TMJ disorders are often made worse by stress, which can lead to unconscious clenching or muscle tension.
We’ll help you explore lifestyle strategies that support long-term relief, including jaw exercises, physiotherapy, mindfulness techniques, and sleep hygiene. Small daily changes can make a big difference in managing your symptoms.
What to Expect During Your TMJ Assessment
During your consultation, we will:
- Examine your jaw movement, bite, and posture
- Ask about your symptoms, habits, and medical history
- Use diagnostic tools as needed to evaluate your muscles and joints
- Create a customized treatment plan that fits your unique needs
We may coordinate with other healthcare providers, such as physiotherapists or sleep specialists, to provide a well-rounded approach.
If you’re experiencing jaw discomfort, tension headaches, or other signs of TMD, we’re here to help. Book an appointment with Wing Dental Centre today to start your path toward better jaw health and long-term comfort.
