If you answered yes to the above questions, you could be suffering from Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction. The temporomandibular joint is also known as the TMJ or jaw joint. It allows the lower jaw to open and close and functions differently from every other joint in the body.

TMD can be a very distressing condition as the pain in your jaw joints can transcend to other parts of the body, leaving you clueless about the real reason behind the excruciating pain. The correct diagnosis for TMD can be challenging and often lead to difficulty in TMD treatment.

At Dr. Paul’s Dental Clinic, Dubai, we are TMD Treatment specialists as we have the expertise to diagnose Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction and provide lasting solutions.

Our treatment is basically non-surgical and begins with orthotics, where we design an orthosis or splint based on the bite analysis of the patient. It is normally prescribed as a 24-hr wear for a few months until the jaws are restored to their actual neuromuscular position using Deprogramming Splints or Gnathological Splints.

This is then followed by TMD treatments for correcting the alignment of the teeth or the root cause of the problem, such as:
