About tmj treatment

TMJ disorder (or TMD) is a group of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joints, the hinges connecting your lower jaw to your skull. Symptoms include jaw clicking or popping, pain near the ear, headaches, neck stiffness, difficulty chewing, or jaw locking. Causes include teeth grinding (bruxism), arthritis, jaw injury, misaligned bite, or chronic stress. Treatment is usually conservative: night guards, physiotherapy, stress management, and occasionally dental adjustments.

How the procedure works

  1. 1Clinical examination, jaw range of motion, palpation, joint sounds
  2. 2X-rays or MRI for severe cases
  3. 3Custom-fitted night guard (most common first-line treatment)
  4. 4Jaw exercises and physiotherapy referrals
  5. 5Pain management, heat/cold, NSAIDs, muscle relaxants
  6. 6Occlusal adjustment (selective grinding) if bite is the cause

Frequently asked questions

How much does tmj treatment cost in Mumbai?
TMJ Treatment in Mumbai typically costs between ₹1,500 and ₹50,000, depending on the clinic, dentist experience, and case complexity.
Where can I get tmj treatment in Mumbai?

How do I know if I have TMJ?
Common signs: jaw clicks when you open wide, headaches near the temples (especially morning), pain in front of the ear when chewing, difficulty opening the mouth fully, or your jaw catches/locks briefly. If any of these are persistent (>2 weeks), see a dentist for an assessment.
Will I need surgery?
Very rarely. Over 90% of TMJ cases are managed with conservative care, night guards, physiotherapy, jaw exercises, and stress management. Surgery is reserved for confirmed structural problems (disc displacement, severe arthritis, ankylosis) that haven't responded to other care for 6+ months.
How much does a night guard cost?
A custom-fitted dental night guard in India costs ₹2,000–₹8,000 depending on material (soft vs hard) and clinic. Cheaper boil-and-bite store-bought guards (₹300–₹800) work for mild grinding but don't address jaw alignment. For TMJ specifically, get the custom dental version.
