Lower Jaw Problems
TMJ Disorder
The lower jaw is attached to the upper jaw just below the ears by the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. This joint is fortified by various muscles and tendons that allow the flexible motions of the mouth. Consequently, any problem with this joint leads to TMJ disorders that cause severe pain when chewing, speaking, or opening the mouth.
TMJ Disorder
The lower jaw is attached to the upper jaw just below the ears by the temporomandibular joint, or TMJ.

Consequently, any problem with this joint leads to TMJ disorders that cause severe pain when chewing, speaking, or opening the mouth.
Our TMJ specialist in Dubai frequently treats these disorders that are typically caused by excess stress on the TMJ muscles due to teeth grinding or clenching. It may also indicate an injury or displacement of the disc that connects the jawbone and the skull socket. Hence, it is essential to get your TMJ pain checked by our specialist to verify and treat its exact underlying cause. You can easily detect the development of TMJ disorders by observing your mouth for the following symptoms:
- Feeling rigid and painful when opening or closing the mouth
- Feeling a popping sensation when opening or closing the mouth
- Persistent pain in the jaw, cheekbones, and ears
- Hearing a persistent ringing sound
- changes in your bite’s position and fitting
- Headaches or neck and shoulder discomfort
- Sharp pain in the jaw muscles when pressed externally
Most cases of TMJ disorders are treated with short-term non-steroidal medicines and oral stress management. Our TMJ doctors in Dubai offer personalized bite plates or splint therapy to help relax the joint. However, if the disorders are caused due to systemic problems like arthritis, our oral surgeons can offer minor surgical solutions for reconstricting the TMJ joint.
Jaw Misalignment
The shape of your smile depends on the structure of your jaws. For your lips to be aligned and curved appropriately, the lower jaw and the upper jaw must occlude correctly. Hence, a protruding or misaligned lower jaw has a significantly degrading effect on your smile and bite force. Apart from the aesthetics, other problems caused by a misaligned jaw include:
- Disfigured jawline and smaller chin
- Misaligned teeth
- Sleep apnea
- Difficulty in chewing food properly
- Difficulty in speaking clearly
- Breathing problems
Jaw misalignment may also be caused due to teeth that are crooked or inclining outward. While dental malocclusions can be treated with orthodontic braces, jaw misalignment can be best treated with minor surgeries for lower jaw corrections in Dubai.
