Why does my jaw click or pop when I open my mouth?

The popping sound happens when the small cartilaginous disc that cushions your jaw joint slips out of position and then snaps back onto the bone when you open your mouth. A specialist splint decompresses the joint so the disc can glide smoothly.

Is surgery necessary for TMJ disorders?

In over 95% of cases, surgery is completely unnecessary. Non-invasive, conservative therapies like custom hard splints, bite balancing, and muscle deprogramming provide complete long-term relief.

Clinical Definition

What Is TMJ Specialist & Temporomandibular Joint Disorder Care?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, acting as a complex sliding hinge. Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) arise when dental malocclusion, jaw clenching (bruxism), trauma, or disc displacement cause severe inflammation, muscle spasms, audible popping/clicking, restricted mouth opening, and chronic headaches often mistaken for migraines. At Shubh Orthodontic & Dental Clinic, Prof. Dr. S. K. Yadav applies advanced biomechanical and orthodontic principles to stabilize the jaw joint. Using precision diagnostic occlusal splints (Michigan splints / anterior deprogrammers), trigger-point muscle therapy, and restorative bite balancing, we eliminate painful joint friction and restore pain-free chewing without aggressive surgery.
