TMJ X-Ray

A Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) X-ray is a diagnostic imaging procedure used to visualize the jaw joints and surrounding bone structures. These X-rays can help dentists and TMJ specialists assess the position of the jaw, identify any bony abnormalities, fractures, or degenerative changes within the TMJ. While an X-ray primarily shows bone, it can provide valuable information in diagnosing TMJ disorders (TMD) and planning appropriate treatment. Different types of TMJ X-rays, such as transcranial or panoramic views with TMJ projections, may be taken depending on the specific diagnostic needs.
