Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) and Temporo-Mandibular Joint (TMJ) Treatment
TMJ Disorder, or TMD, encompasses a range of symptoms and conditions that suggest an abnormality in the functioning of the temporomandibular joints, ligaments, and muscles of the head and neck. Occasionally, this condition can manifest without noticeable symptoms.
It’s important to note that not all TMJ pain stems from temporomandibular joint dislocation or deterioration. Often, TMJ symptoms can coincide with other injuries. However, through thorough investigation and expert examination, our TMJ Specialists can assess whether TMD treatment is warranted.
Symptoms of TMJ dysfunction
- Headaches
- Dizziness
- Ear congestion
- Neck pain
- Poor posture
- Sleep problems, snoring, apnea
- Swallowing disorder
- Noise and ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
TMJ Treatment in Dubai
Many TMJ (Jaw Joint Disorder) issues can be effectively treated using conservative methods, particularly if they are linked to habits like clenching and grinding or typical joint movements associated with misaligned teeth. Conservative treatment options range from wearing a protective bite splint or nightguard to undergoing orthodontic therapy, all of which can help manage TMJ pain
