Temporomandibular Joint or TMJ disorders are ailments that affect the jaw joints, as well as the muscles and ligaments that surround them. When the muscles and ligaments that surround your jaw joints become inflamed or irritated, TMJ dysfunction occurs. The discomfort might be minor or severe, depending on whether the illness is acute or persistent. Trauma, an incorrect bite, arthritis, or wear and tear can all contribute to it. Jaw soreness, headaches, earaches, and face pain are all common symptoms.
The TMJ’s job is to keep the lower jaw within a specified range of motion while chewing, talking, singing, yawning, breathing, swallowing, keeping the airway open while sleeping, and maintaining body posture and balance, among other things.We are well equipped with a dedicated in-house CBCT center to best serve the patient’s treatment requirements. CBCT imaging is considered superior to the conventional radiographical examinations and even to MRI, in terms of assessing the TMJ. It offers cost and dose-effective imaging modality for the diagnostic assessment of a variety of TMJ conditions.
