TMJ Disorders
TMJ Disorder Treatment at Neoface Dental Clinic
Expert Care for Jaw Pain & TMJ Problems
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders affect the joint that connects the jaw to the skull, which plays an important role in chewing, speaking, and mouth movement. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can cause pain, stiffness, and difficulty in normal jaw function. TMJ issues may develop due to teeth grinding, stress, injury, arthritis, or bite problems.
At Neoface Dental Clinic, TMJ disorders are carefully diagnosed and treated by Dr. S. Nitesh Reddy and Dr. B. Neeharika, who specialize in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and advanced dental care.
Signs & Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
Patients with TMJ problems may experience:
Pain or tenderness in the jaw joint
Clicking or popping sounds while opening or closing the mouth
Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth fully
Headaches, ear pain, or facial discomfort
Jaw locking or stiffness
Muscle tightness in the face or neck
Types of TMJ Disorders
Myofascial Pain Dysfunction (MPD)
The most common TMJ condition caused by muscle tension, stress, or teeth grinding (bruxism), leading to jaw pain and muscle soreness.
Internal Derangement
Occurs when the disc within the jaw joint moves out of position or due to trauma, resulting in clicking, popping, or locking of the jaw.
Arthritic TMJ Conditions
Joint disorders such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the TMJ, causing inflammation, pain, and reduced jaw mobility.
