TMD
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. Everyone has two, one on each side of the jaw.
“TMD” describes disorders of the joint, while “TMJ” refers to the temporomandibular joint itself.

Treating temporomandibular disorder
Bespoke mouthguards worn during sleep to reduce teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching, relieving pressure on the temporomandibular joints.
We may recommend targeted exercises or refer you to a physiotherapist to improve jaw mobility and reduce muscle tension.
In certain cases, adjusting the way your teeth come together can help reduce strain on your jaw joints.
Anti-inflammatory medication or short-term muscle relaxants can help manage pain and inflammation.
