What is TMJ disorder?
The temporomandibular joint connects your jaw to the bones of your skull and moves your jaw up and down. It is fairly common to have problems with this joint, known as temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ disorder, which can lead to pain, jaw soreness, and headaches.
The symptoms of TMJ disorder include:
- Pain in your jaw, cheek, temple, neck and back
- Headaches and migraines
- Locking, popping or clicking jaw
- Problems when chewing
- Ache in your ear or jaw

Splints
These are worn to move the lower jaw forward and usually stay in place for 24 hours a day. They can help relax the muscles, protect the teeth and adjust how the teeth fit together. Splints can relieve jaw soreness and migraines formed from jaw tension.
Night guards
These are made from a flexible material and are similar to sports guards. They are specially made from impressions taken of your teeth, so they fit securely and comfortably. They can prevent you from grinding your teeth together at night.
In-ear device
This is an innovative and discreet device worn in the ear canal to help keep the jaw in an open position. It is used for TMJ pain relief and can provide migraine headache relief.
Psychological treatments
These can be used to treat underlying psychological problems, such as stress and anxiety, which may be a cause of teeth grinding. These include cognitive behavioural therapy and other stress management techniques such as yoga, massage and deep breathing.
Medication
Anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can help reduce pain and swelling. Muscle relaxants can loosen tight muscles and anti-anxiety medicine can help relieve the stress that can lead to teeth grinding and clenching.
Surgery
Surgical treatment may be considered if other forms of TMJ disorder treatment are unsuccessful.
