TMJ Disorder Treatment at Daant Guru Dental Clinic
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder can lead to persistent jaw pain, difficulty in chewing, and even headaches, affecting your daily life. At Daant Guru Dental Clinic, we specialize in comprehensive TMJ Disorder treatment, offering personalized solutions to alleviate discomfort and restore normal jaw function.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, enabling essential movements such as chewing, talking, and yawning. TMJ Disorder (also known as TMD) occurs when this joint becomes misaligned or inflamed due to factors such as:
- Teeth Grinding (Bruxism)
- Jaw Injury
- Arthritis
- Stress-related Jaw Clenching
- Malocclusion (Misaligned Bite)
Dr. Nayab and her expert team at Daant Guru Dental Clinic, conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the severity of your condition. Treatment options range from non-surgical methods such as oral splints, physiotherapy, medication, and lifestyle modifications, to advanced interventions like Botox therapy or minimally invasive surgery for severe cases.
If you’re experiencing jaw pain, clicking sounds, or difficulty in movement, our patient-centric care ensures long-term relief and improved jaw function. Let Daant Guru Dental Clinic help you regain pain-free movement and enhance your quality of life.

If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you might be an ideal candidate for TMJ disorder treatment:
- Persistent jaw pain or tenderness
