  • TREATMENT OF THE JAW JOINT

    What Is TMJ Disorder?

    The temporomandibular joint, located just in front of the ear, is the joint where the temporal bone of the skull meets the mandible. TMJ disorder can occur due to problems in the joint itself or abnormalities of the masticatory muscles.

Causes of TMJ Disorder

  • Improper bite alignment

  • High levels of stress

  • Teeth grinding or clenching habit

  • Poor posture affecting neck and lower back

Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

  • 01 Discomfort while chewing with clicking sounds

  • 02 Pain that makes it difficult to open the mouth wide

  • 03 Frequent headaches

  • 04 A feeling that the face is becoming more asymmetric

TMJ Treatment Program at
Seoul The Nature Dental Clinic

  • At Seoul The Nature Dental Clinic, we provide step-by-step treatment based on detailed examination and diagnosis, including self-care guidance, medication, orthodontic care, and splint therapy. If TMJ pain is ignored and left untreated, the jaw may gradually shift to one side, which can lead to facial asymmetry and may even affect overall body balance, so active treatment is necessary.

  • Cooling Spray

    Temporarily relieves pain by lowering the surface temperature for a short period.

  • Medication

    Medication is provided when inflammatory TMJ disorder is suspected.

  • Laser / Infrared Therapy

    Through physical therapy, muscle spasm, joint stiffness, and pain can be reduced.

  • Splint

    Secures joint space and helps restore the TMJ to a more normal position.

  • Restorative / Prosthetic Treatment

    If splint therapy alone is not sufficient to restore proper occlusion, restorative and prosthetic treatment may be combined.

  • Botulinum Toxin Treatment

    Relaxes tense muscles, reduces pressure, and helps relieve pain.

If TMJ disorder is not treated at the proper time,
it may cause facial asymmetry
and can even affect overall body balance,
so active treatment is essential.
