Temporomandibular Disorder, or TMD, is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint — the structure responsible for connecting the jaw to the skull and enabling movements such as opening and closing the mouth, chewing, speaking and yawning. When this joint or the surrounding muscles do not function properly, symptoms such as facial pain, clicking sounds, limited movement, headaches and even discomfort in the neck or ears may arise.
At our clinic, we assess and treat TMD in a comprehensive manner, combining medical expertise with advanced diagnostic technologies and an interdisciplinary approach. Our goal is to identify the underlying cause of the problem — whether muscular, joint-related, postural or stress-related — and develop a fully personalised treatment plan. We work with therapies that reduce pain, restore joint function and improve the patient’s quality of life.
Treatments may include specialised physiotherapy, postural re-education, the use of occlusal splints, acupuncture, laser therapy and muscle relaxation techniques. Each case is carefully monitored, with a focus on progressive recovery and long-lasting symptom relief. At our clinic, we believe that treating TMD is more than eliminating pain — it is about restoring the comfort and freedom of movement that patients deserve.
Symptoms include pain in the jaw area, clicking or grinding sounds when opening and closing the mouth, difficulty or limitation of movement, headaches, a sensation of a blocked ear, tinnitus and even neck pain. These signs may vary in intensity and often worsen with stress or chewing effort.
In most cases, yes. With appropriate treatment, it is possible to control pain, restore function and eliminate symptoms. Success depends on an accurate diagnosis and a therapeutic plan tailored to each patient’s individual needs.
Yes. Stress is one of the main factors associated with TMD, as it can lead to clenching or grinding of the teeth (bruxism), which overloads the joint and facial muscles. For this reason, treatment often includes relaxation techniques and complementary therapies to reduce emotional and muscular tension.
