What exactly is TMJD, and why is my jaw giving me trouble?

TMJD and biteguards

TMJD stands for temporomandibular joint disorder; most people just call it jaw pain. Your jaw joint is the hinge that lets you talk, eat, and yawn… It’s in use all the time, usually without you even noticing. When something’s off, though, you’ll notice. It can feel stiff, ache constantly, click or pop when you open wide, or even give you a sharp twinge when you bite into something chewy. Stress, clenching, grinding at night, or even the way your teeth meet can all play a part.

How does a bite guard help?

A bite guard takes the pressure off. You insert it at night, and it stops your teeth from grinding against each other. That gives the joint a break, protects your teeth from wear, and often lets the muscles around your jaw relax too. A lot of patients tell us they stop waking up with that tight, achy feeling across their face once they’ve been wearing one for a little while; some even notice a difference in just a few days.

Get in touch

What’s the process if I get one here?

Super simple. First, we’ll chat about your symptoms and have a look at how your jaw’s moving. If a guard seems right for you, we’ll scan your teeth (no messy impressions, we’re fully digital here). That scan is then used to make your custom-fit guard. When it’s ready, you’ll put it back in, we’ll check if it feels comfortable, and then you can start using it straight away.

Ready to stop waking up with jaw pain?

You don’t have to keep putting up with sore jaws, headaches, or teeth wearing down from grinding. We’ve seen plenty of patients come in tired and frustrated, and leave with a plan that finally helps them get back to eating, talking, and smiling without constantly thinking about their jaw.

I recently had some dental issues with broken teeth and saw Maya for a check-up. Maya gave me options to get my teeth repaired, and I now have 2 lovely new white fillings. I had also misplaced my denture, and Maya made me a new one, which fits so well and is so comfortable. The treatment from start to finish was explained in detail, and I’m really happy with the final results. I highly recommend this dental practice and am pleased to have found such a friendly, helpful team.

Today I had the ‘pleasure’ of a shiny new filling by Nishma, who has become a bit of a household name around here! The kids love her, and now, I have to pretend to be “Dentist Daddy” when brushing their teeth (inspired by Nishma)!

Zero pain.
100% friendliness.
On time.
In and out in 30 minutes.

As always, a lovely experience. Well, aside from the bill, I guess, but thanks to the UK Govt, we have to pay for dental treatment these days, and Nishma’s expertise comes at a fair and appropriate cost. Thanks, Nishma (and your lovely colleague) for a smooth experience (and smooth filling too)!

What a fantastic practice! My son was absolutely terrified to enter the dental practice, but Sarah at reception and our dentist, Fatima, were both absolutely amazing with him and calmed him down quickly. Their customer service was some of the best I have experienced anywhere.

Very professional team. Always on time. Very clean premises. Friendly staff. They seem up-to-date with new techniques and equipment. They take pride in their work. I have had several dentists at this practice over the years, but they are all very good at their job. Can recommend.

Recently changed my dentist to a local one and I have found all the staff here very friendly, caring and most importantly, understanding in terms of my ongoing oral health care. Treatment has been exceptional, easy and importantly pain pain-free and appropriate. Thank you, Anita, Maya and the team.

Totally recommend this Dental Surgery! Maya and her team were very professional and kind. I cannot express how grateful I am to have new crowns and a bridge so that I can smile with confidence. They talked me through every stage, and the final result was brilliant.

Always delighted with the results of any treatment I receive. Face may crumble with age, but my smile shows the benefit of long years of care from Knightsfield Dental Practice.

I had an old filing replaced. The procedure was delivered very well, and in a nice, calm atmosphere. The anaesthetic took quite a long time to ease off – more like 4 hours before I could feel my bottom lip and cheek, but I’d rather that than feel the procedure (which I didn’t).

I had to go to this practice as an emergency, being a very nervous patient, I can not tell you how nice they were. The dentist informed me of what treatment should be done, and the dental nurse was lovely and held my hand throughout the tooth extraction; they even gave me a coping strategy to use. Cannot recommend them enough, all staff were lovely and friendly.

TMJD and biteguards

FAQs

Is a custom-made guard really that different from shop-bought ones?

Yes. Off-the-shelf guards aren’t shaped to your bite, so they tend to feel awkward or slip around. Which usually means they end up in a drawer. A custom guard is made just for you, fits properly, feels natural, and actually works. Most patients forget they’ve even got it in after a few nights.

How do I get started if my jaw’s been bothering me?

Don’t wait until it gets worse; jaw pain usually doesn’t just vanish on its own. Give us a call or use the contact form to book a slot. Even if it turns out not to be TMJD, it’s worth checking. And if a bite guard is the answer, it’s a small, simple step that can make a big difference.
