Jaw joint problems can develop for a number of reasons, for example, if you’ve dislocated your jaw in the past, or you’ve recently had several teeth removed, or you grind your teeth together at night. It’s also possible you may have a condition known as TMJD, temporomandibular joint dysfunction, which makes it difficult for the jaw joint to open and close correctly.

As specialists in this area, we can diagnose your symptoms quickly, and make sure you receive the appropriate treatment.

We may recommend you wear a custom made splint, for instance. This is a plastic cover designed to be worn over the upper or lower teeth, which improves the way that your teeth fit together, helping to alleviate problematic jaw joint symptoms.
