Jaw pain, clicking, headaches, facial tension, and difficulty chewing are often signs of TMJ dysfunction—a condition affecting the temporomandibular joint, one of the most complex joints in the body. Because this joint controls how you speak, chew, and move your jaw, even small imbalances can lead to significant discomfort.

At Brisbane Smile Boutique, our clinicians combine advanced digital technology with personalised care to diagnose and treat TMJ issues with precision. Our approach goes beyond symptom relief—we focus on uncovering the cause of your discomfort and creating a long-term, tailored solution.

Advanced 3D Scanning & Digital Bite Mapping: Precision That Matters

Traditional bite assessments can miss subtle discrepancies. That’s why we use high-resolution 3D scanners and digital bite mapping software to capture:

  • Jaw movement patterns

  • Bite pressure distribution

  • Tooth and joint alignment

  • Areas of imbalance or stress

This technology creates a complete digital model of your bite, allowing us to pinpoint exactly where the problem originates. It also gives our clinicians the insight needed to create a detailed, personalised treatment plan.

Bite Corrections, Alignment & Functional Rehabilitation

Every patient has unique jaw mechanics, which is why our clinicians take an individualised approach. Treatment plans may include:

✔ Bite Corrections & Occlusal Adjustment

Small refinements to how your teeth meet can significantly reduce strain on the TMJ and surrounding muscles.

✔ Functional Jaw Rehabilitation

Gentle therapy and guided exercises help retrain proper movement, reduce inflammation, and improve joint stability.

✔ Alignment Strategies

When needed, we develop a step-by-step plan to improve the relationship between your teeth, bite, and jaw joints, creating long-term balance and comfort.

Custom 3D-Printed Night Splints for Protection & Pain Relief

For many patients, clenching or grinding is a major contributor to TMJ issues. Our practice designs custom 3D-printed night splints, created from your digital scan for unmatched accuracy and comfort.

These splints help by:

  • Reducing grinding and clenching

  • Relieving muscle tension

  • Protecting the teeth

  • Supporting proper joint alignment during sleep

This modern approach delivers a lighter, more precise, and more durable splint than traditional methods.
