Jaw dysfunction, often associated with the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), can affect comfort, function, and quality of life. Symptoms may include jaw pain or tightness, headaches, facial discomfort, clicking or popping sounds, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we take a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and managing jaw dysfunction. Through detailed assessments of jaw movement, bite alignment, muscle function, and contributing habits such as clenching or grinding, our experienced team can identify the underlying causes of discomfort.

Jaw pain is a common concern that can affect daily activities such as eating, speaking, yawning, and even sleeping. For some people it may be mild and temporary, while for others it can become persistent and disruptive. Understanding how the jaw joint works, why jaw pain occurs, and what treatment options may help is the first step toward managing discomfort effectively.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, we take a comprehensive, technology-driven approach to assessing jaw function as part of overall oral and orthodontic health.
