TMJ and TMD! What’s the Difference?
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to the skull. The TMJ is what allows the movement of your jaw and enables various actions & habits including speaking and eating. Any hindrance in the functioning of your TMJ results in a disorder and is termed Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD). At TMJ Sleep World, our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter resolved many TMJ issues concerning individuals of all age groups.
TMJ disorder or simply TMD may lead to tenderness in jaw joints and connecting muscles & ligaments. Roughly about 5 to 12% of the global population suffer from TMJ dysfunction and it is more prevalent among those who are relatively young at age. At TMJ Sleep World, our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter are specialists in solving complex TMJ problems at ease. We leverage sophisticated, state-of-the-art facilities and advanced technology and equipment to help you go through seamless diagnoses and treatment procedures for a complete resolve.

TMJ Treatment in Dubai
Our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter has garnered great appreciation for our commitment to leverage advanced facilities and diagnoses methods to determine TMJ causes leading to the disorder. In most cases of TMJ disorder, it is quite challenging to determine precise TMJ causes of the disorder. Most TMJ causes may be due to sports-related injuries, genetics, arthritis, or even a minor face-first fall on the ground resulting in excruciating pain that hinders us from performing daily tasks.
While most TMJ disorders appear transient and subside over time with self-care and natural remedies, some may require non-invasive TMJ treatment. In certain cases where symptoms are persistent, the treatment may take the form of an arthroscopic TMJ surgery which is complex and requires specialists to perform the same. Our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter carry with them years of experience and knowledge to handle a multitude of TMJ challenges. Being specialists in resolving the most complex TMJ issues, our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter are acclaimed experts in performing the most intricate TMJ disorder surgeries.
How is TMJ disorder diagnosed?
As a preliminary check, your dentist should hear out and review your symptoms and make an assessment of your jaw and its alignment to teeth. Our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter will do the following as an initial examination –
In-person Medical Evaluation
- Pays attention to your jaw movements by asking you to open and close your mouth. By doing this, he listens and feels your jaw for any misalignments or disproportionate signals.
- Assesses the extensivity or range of motion of your jaw.
- Massages or presses on areas around the jaw, to precisely identify areas of discomfort or pain.
Radiological Evaluation
- Cone Beam Computed Therapy (CBCT) to avail detailed information about bones at joints.
- X-ray imaging to check and analyze positions of upper and lower jaws and how they complement each other when in certain positions.
- CT scan, to extract detailed images of the bone joints.
- MRI scan, to get clarity on issues with the joint’s cartilage or the soft tissues surrounding it.
Treating TMD
As discussed earlier, most TMD symptoms will slide away with simple home care tasks when they are identified as temporary. In other cases, if the symptoms prolong and remain persistent, our TMJ specialist Dubai chapter will advise you to consider various treatment options, as follows –
Oral Medicines to relieve pain
- Pain killers or anti-inflammatory pills or medicines will be prescribed for a certain period to help subside pain.
- Muscle relaxants help in the relaxation of congested muscles, thus helping in relieving pain or discomfort in that area.
