TMJ Treatment
The temporomandibular joint connects your jawbone to your skull and plays an important role in chewing, speaking, and yawning. When this joint becomes dysfunctional, you might be suffering from temporomandibular joint disorder and need treatment right away! If you are experiencing pain and discomfort in your jaw, you should get it checked. At The Smile Canvas, we offer TMJ treatment in Wadala to help relieve your pain and restore your quality of life.

TMJ Disorder Symptoms

  • Pain in the jaw, face, or around the ear area, or jaw tenderness.
  • Clicking or popping sounds while opening and closing your mouth.
  • Difficulty chewing or eating.
  • Locking of the Jaw occurs when the jaw gets stuck in an open or shut position.
  • Often headaches or migraines.
  • Recurring ear pain or tinnitus pain.

If you have any of these symptoms, seeing a TMJ specialist in Mumbai is important. Our dental clinic in Wadala offers customised treatment plans to help ease your pain.

What Causes TMJ Disorder?

The cause of your TMJ disorder may be due to a combination of various factors. In most cases, it cannot be pinpointed to one particular problem. For some patients, the cause of their pain may not be evident. Common causes or contributing factors include:
  • Misaligned Bite: A misaligned bite, or malocclusion, is a condition wherein the upper and lower teeth fail to fit in line. This will, in turn, stress the TMJ.
  • Bruxism: Grinding or clenching of teeth, mostly during sleep or increased stress. That action will put pressure on the TMJ and surrounding muscles.
  • Stress and Muscle Tension: High levels of stress and anxiety can lead to muscle tension in the area of the jaw, thus causing TMJ symptoms.
  • Injury: An injury to the face or jaw may also damage or strain TMJ and cause painful TMJ symptoms.
  • Arthritis: Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis can cause inflammation and limit the jaw’s motion, affecting TMJ and surrounding muscles.

FAQs

TMJ specialists are also known as prosthodontists. They help treat problems with the temporomandibular joint. This joint connects your lower jaw with the skull and allows your jaw to open and close, letting you speak and eat.
The success rate for TMJ surgery is quite high, and because the surgeon works directly on your joint, they can address the root cause of your TMJ pain. However, as with any surgery, there are potential complications. It’s crucial for patients to be aware of these possible issues before making a decision.
TMJ disorder can alter your face shape, but it is due to shifting of the jaw, which can cause pain and discomfort.
Healing time depends on the case severity, but recovery usually takes one to two weeks. In case the pain persists, it is important to see your dentist for further course of action.
Although every patient’s treatment plan differs, most patients attend physiotherapy twice weekly for four to six weeks. Many patients feel relief after a few sessions, but you should consult your doctor for persistent pain.
