Alleviate Jaw Pain and Restore Comfort

TMJ/TMD Treatment at MIA Dental

At MIA Dental, we understand the discomfort and challenges associated with Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). Our dedicated team offers comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans to address TMJ/TMD symptoms, helping you regain comfort and improve your quality of life.

Understanding TMJ and TMD

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, facilitating movements necessary for speaking, chewing, and yawning. Disorders of this joint, known as TMD, can lead to pain and dysfunction in the jaw and surrounding muscles.

Causes of TMJ/TMD

While the exact cause of TMD can be challenging to determine, several factors may contribute to its development:

Erosion or Misalignment of the Joint Disk

When the protective cushioning between the jawbone and skull shifts or wears down, it can lead to pain and restricted movement.

Arthritis Damaging the Joint Cartilage

Inflammatory conditions like arthritis can wear away the joint surfaces, causing stiffness, pain, and difficulty with jaw function.

Jaw Injury or Trauma

Accidents, falls, or impact to the face can damage the temporomandibular joint, often triggering long-term discomfort and misalignment.

Chronic Teeth Grinding or Clenching

Excessive pressure from grinding or clenching (bruxism) places stress on the TMJ, contributing to inflammation and muscle fatigue.
