Joint Pain

When a patient's bite (how your teeth fit together) is not properly aligned, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunctions and a number of related symptoms can arise. One of these symptoms is jaw joint pain. Refer to Neuromuscular dentistry.

The jaw area of the face is a complex network of bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. When the jaw becomes misaligned, the surrounding bones, muscles, and nerves are also affected. This includes the muscles of the face, which experience strain or spasm because the muscles are working extra hard to compensate for the unstable bite.

A neuromuscular dentist can help relieve facial and jaw joint pain problems by working with the source of the problem, which is the bite. Our aim at Sydney City Dental is to stabilise and correctly realign your bite so that the teeth, muscles, and jaw joints all work together harmoniously without strain.

Neuromuscular Dentistry treats these conditions by placing the teeth and jaw in its optimal position, relieving the symptoms, as listed above, associated with TMJ.
