TMJ Therapy in Quezon City

Jaw pain is one of the most commonly misattributed complaints we see. Patients arrive having treated it as a headache, an ear problem or a toothache for months before anyone looks at the joint itself.

The temporomandibular joint connects your lower jaw to your skull, just in front of each ear, and it works every time you speak, chew or yawn. When it's strained - often by night-time grinding, a bite that doesn't meet evenly, an old injury or long periods of stress - the symptoms are recognisable once you know them: a click or pop when you open, jaw that catches or locks, aching around the ear or temple, morning headaches, or teeth that are visibly worn flat.

We start with a TMJ x-ray (from ₱1,200) and a clinical assessment of how your jaw moves and how your teeth meet. TMJ therapy (from ₱15,000) is then built around what's actually causing the strain in your case, which commonly includes a custom occlusal splint to protect the joint and teeth overnight, bite adjustment, and guidance on managing the habits that keep aggravating it.

Left alone, TMJ problems tend to get more entrenched rather than resolve. If any of the above sounds familiar, book an assessment.
