TMJ Diagnosis & Treatment
Jaw pain, clicking sounds while opening the mouth, headaches near the temples, difficulty chewing, or a locked jaw can significantly affect daily life. These symptoms are often linked to problems in the temporomandibular joint, commonly known as TMJ. Aline Dent provides advanced TMJ treatment in Thalassery & Kuttiyadi with a patient-focused approach aimed at relieving pain, restoring jaw function, and improving overall comfort.
Our dental specialists carefully evaluate the condition of the jaw joints, muscles, bite alignment, and surrounding oral structures to identify the root cause of the problem. From conservative therapies and bite correction to advanced maxillofacial support when required, we provide personalised treatment plans designed for long-term relief.
What is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint is the joint that connects the lower jaw to the skull and allows movements such as speaking, chewing, yawning, and smiling. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become strained, inflamed, misaligned, or damaged, it can lead to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD or TMJ disorder).
TMJ disorders may develop gradually or suddenly and can range from mild discomfort to severe jaw pain and restricted movement. Many people ignore the early symptoms until everyday activities like eating and talking become difficult.
At Aline Dent, we focus on identifying the underlying cause of TMJ pain and providing effective TMJ treatment in Thalassery & Kuttiyadi tailored to each patient’s condition.

Pain Management and Muscle Relaxation
