At Twoth Dental + Facial Aesthetics, we understand how debilitating Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can be. If you suffer from jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, or difficulty chewing, our expert team in St John’s Wood is here to provide effective, non-invasive treatments to relieve discomfort and restore jaw function.
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the skull, allowing smooth movement for talking, eating, and yawning. However, when this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can cause chronic pain and discomfort. TMJ disorder (TMD) can result from teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw clenching, misaligned teeth, arthritis, or injury.
Our highly skilled team offers comprehensive TMJ diagnosis and treatment to relieve pain and improve jaw function. We take a holistic approach, combining advanced dental techniques with facial aesthetics and muscle relaxation therapies for optimal results.
1. Comprehensive TMJ Assessment
We begin with a detailed consultation, assessing your symptoms, jaw movement, and bite alignment. We may use advanced digital imaging to diagnose the root cause of your TMJ issues accurately.
2. Custom-Made Splints & Mouthguards
A bespoke dental splint or nightguard can help reduce pressure on the TMJ, preventing teeth grinding and jaw clenching while you sleep. These are crafted to fit comfortably and effectively ease strain on the jaw.
3. Botox® for TMJ Pain Relief
Our facial aesthetics specialists offer Botox® injections to relax overactive jaw muscles, providing effective relief from pain, tension, and bruxism. This minimally invasive treatment helps reduce muscle strain and prevents further joint damage.
4. Orthodontic & Restorative Solutions
Misaligned teeth or an improper bite can contribute to TMJ dysfunction. We offer Invisalign®, dental restorations, and bite adjustment therapies to correct alignment issues and improve long-term comfort.
5. Physiotherapy & Lifestyle Modifications
Our team provides jaw exercises, posture corrections, and stress management techniques to support TMJ healing. We also offer guidance on dietary changes to reduce jaw strain.
From general to cosmetic to specialist dentistry, we provide 0% payment plans to help separate the fees of your treatment.
I have now visited Twoth on three different occasion... The first time was to take my son (8 years old) to see Dr Counihan for a braces consultation and my son absolutely loved the entire experience from start to finish. In fact, he was so excited and relaxed about it all he wanted to get started immediately.
The second time around, I went to see Dr Counihan myself for a second opinion and found the experience just as good as my son did
Before I found Dr Neil Counihan I had a long history of dental trauma and sadly I repeatedly was subjected to very poor dentistry. I was scared to let anybody near my mouth and teeth. I had lost hope!
Dr Counihan made me the promise, with the right care I can keep my mouth healthy and definitely keep my teeth for the rest of my life.
And most importantly he made me feel safe and listened to
