What Is TMJ and Jaw Pain?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to your skull and helps you speak, chew and open your mouth. Problems affecting this joint or the surrounding muscles are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

Common symptoms include jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, facial discomfort and difficulty opening or closing the mouth. Teeth grinding, jaw clenching, stress, bite problems or injury may contribute to these symptoms.

At Jesh & Mikh Dental Clinic in Al Karama, Dubai, we assess your jaw movement, teeth and bite to identify possible causes of discomfort. Treatment is personalised and may include lifestyle advice, a custom night guard or referral for further care when required.

TMJ refers to the temporomandibular joint that connects your jaw to your skull. A TMJ disorder occurs when this joint or its muscles do not work properly, causing jaw pain, clicking, and headaches. Common causes include teeth grinding, clenching, stress, an uneven bite, arthritis, or injury.
How is TMJ treated without surgery? +
Most TMJ disorders are treated without surgery, using a custom night guard to protect the jaw, bite adjustment, muscle relaxation techniques, jaw exercises, and orthodontic treatment where an uneven bite is the cause. We tailor the approach to your symptoms.
How much does TMJ treatment cost in Dubai? +
At our Al Karama clinic, TMJ assessment is part of your consultation. A custom night guard starts from AED 500, bite adjustment from AED 800, and orthodontic treatment for TMJ from AED 5,000. Your exact TMJ treatment cost depends on your diagnosis and is confirmed at your consultation.
