TMJD (Temporomandibular Joint) dysfunction is a condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often caused or exacerbated by teeth grinding (bruxism). People who grind their teeth may do so unconsciously, often during sleep, leading to jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and even damage to the teeth over time. This repetitive clenching and grinding put excessive pressure on the TMJD, which can result in discomfort, restricted jaw movement, and clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth.

The causes of TMJ dysfunction and teeth grinding can vary and may include stress, anxiety, misaligned teeth, or other dental issues. If left untreated, this condition can lead to chronic pain and significant dental problems.

If this is a condition you are concerned about, book a consultation with our expert practitioners to discuss a personalised treatment plan tailored specifically for you.
