Discover lasting relief from TMJ disorders with comprehensive care from Dr. Nishan Halim, leveraging advanced diagnostics and treatment options, including Botox, to address the root causes of your discomfort.
Understanding TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders affect the temporomandibular joint, where the jaw connects to the skull, leading to pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and muscles. Causes range from stress and bite misalignment to head, neck, or facial trauma. Recognizing the underlying factors is crucial for effective treatment.
Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
If you experience chronic headaches, earaches, difficulty opening your mouth (lockjaw), or hear popping and clicking sounds when moving your jaw, you might be suffering from a TMJ disorder. Additional symptoms include bruxism (teeth grinding), shoulder, neck, or facial pain, and evidence of tooth wear.
