TMJ (TMD) Treatment at Pearl Orthodontics

What is TMD / TMJ?

TMD, short for temporomandibular joint disorder, refers to a group of conditions that affect the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It often shows up as:


  • Jaw clicking, popping, or locking
  • Persistent headaches or migraines
  • Ear pain or fullness, ringing in the ears
  • Difficulty chewing or stiffness in the neck and shoulders

At Pearl Orthodontics, we recognise that TMD is more than just a dental issue—it’s a joint, muscle and alignment concern that can impact your overall comfort and health.


Why Choose Pearl Orthodontics for TMJ Care?

  • Our specialised team addresses both the joint mechanics and the dental alignment to fully restore function.

  • Leading-edge diagnostic tools help us identify even subtle jaw irregularities—so we can stop pain at its root.

  • We approach treatment with long-term results in mind: improving your jaw alignment, reducing strain, and helping you avoid ongoing medication or multiple providers.

Treatment is always personalised—no two jaws or pain patterns are alike, and your care should reflect that.


Our TMJ Treatment Process

  1. Comprehensive evaluation
    We begin with a detailed exam of your jaw joints, bite, and muscle function—plus any imaging if needed—to determine the exact cause of your symptoms.

  2. Customized treatment plan
    Based on your diagnosis, we may recommend a tailored combination of therapies such as gentle bite adjustment, orthotic splints, targeted orthodontic alignment, or referral to other specialists if necessary.

  3. Active management and follow-up
    As your treatment progresses, we monitor your improvements in pain reduction, bite stability and overall comfort—adjusting the plan as you heal.

Maintenance and prevention
After your main treatment, we help you protect your gains with custom retainers or splints, sleep-apnea screening if indicated, and lifestyle guidance to avoid relapse or bite strain.

Consultation Fee

Please note: A dedicated MD/TMJ consultation with our specialist incurs an office visit fee. (Feel free to contact us for the current consultation fee amount.)
We’ll review your full medical and dental history, assess your jaw function and discuss treatment options tailored to your case.
