About the Condition
What Is TMD (Temporomandibular Disorder)?
TMD refers to a group of conditions affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint or the surrounding muscles are not functioning correctly, it can lead to persistent jaw pain, facial discomfort, and long-term damage to your teeth.
Patients suffering from night-time teeth clenching (bruxism) can cause irreversible damage to their teeth if the condition is not addressed early. Dr. Hakim evaluates each patient individually and, when recommended, delivers a customised appliance to protect them from these harmful effects.

Root Causes
What Causes TMD & Facial Pain?
Common Contributing Factors
Bite Misalignment (Malocclusion)
When teeth do not fit together properly, extra strain is placed on the jaw joint and surrounding muscles.
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding & Clenching)
Often occurring during sleep, bruxism causes excessive pressure on the teeth and TMJ, leading to wear and pain.
Stress & Muscle Tension
Emotional stress often manifests as jaw clenching, overworking the jaw muscles and inflaming the joint.
Jaw Injury or Trauma
A previous injury to the jaw or face can cause lasting changes to the TMJ alignment and function.
