TMJ/TMD treatment

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a specialized joint that connects the jawbone (mandible) to the skull’s temporal bone, which is located in front of the ear. It plays a crucial role in enabling various jaw movements, such as talking, chewing, and yawning. The TMJ is a complex joint that combines both hinge-like and sliding motions to facilitate these movements.

TMJ is a condition that occurs when your jaw becomes misaligned. It results in a wide range of painful symptoms that can affect many different areas of your body. Fortunately, Dr. Chee offers a variety of TMJ treatment options to restore a properly aligned bite, alleviating your pain once and for all.

We've prepared the following Slideshare presentation to provide an overview of the most common TMJ symptoms and treatments.

When the bone that connects your skull to your jaw is out of alignment, the condition is reffered to as TMJ in reference to the temporomanidular joint. This misalignment can cause horrible pain, discomfort, popping, clicking, and headaches because your jaw is out of alignment. However, our dentist, Dr. Gordon Chee, can help alleviate this discomfort through the use of the latest technology. He can monitor your jaw and determine exactly how to relax it and prevent further TMJ symptoms from occurring. To find out more about TMJ treatment options, please view this infographic:

Do you suffer from headaches, or hear strange popping or clicking sounds when you move your mouth? If so, you might be experiencing symptoms of TMJ disorder, a condition where the jaw joint loses function.
