Do you experience pain while opening your mouth, hear clicking sounds near your jaw, or suffer from headaches and stiffness? These may be signs of TMJ Disorder - a condition affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jawbone to your skull.
At Dr. Dhrubajyoti Sen’s Clinic, Siliguri, we specialize in the diagnosis and management of TMJ disorders, offering both surgical and non-surgical treatments designed to relieve pain and restore smooth jaw movement. With a deep understanding of jaw and facial anatomy, Dr. Sen ensures accurate evaluation, personalized care, and long-lasting results.
What Are TMJ Disorders?
The temporomandibular joint acts like a sliding hinge that enables jaw movement for speaking, chewing, and facial expressions. When this joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or damaged, it can lead to discomfort, limited motion, or locking of the jaw.
Common causes include:
- Jaw injury or trauma
- Arthritis or joint degeneration
- Excessive teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Misaligned bite or jaw structure
- Stress-induced muscle tension
Symptoms of TMJ Disorders:
- Pain or tenderness around the jaw joint
- Difficulty in opening or closing the mouth
- Clicking, popping, or grating sounds during movement
- Ear pain or ringing without infection
- Headaches or facial pain radiating to the neck or shoulders
TMJ Treatment Options at Our Clinic:
At Dr. Dhrubajyoti Sen’s Clinic, we focus on identifying the root cause before deciding the right treatment approach. Depending on the condition, treatment options may include:

- Bite Correction & Splint Therapy: Custom mouthguards or bite realignment devices to relieve strain on the jaw joint.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures: Arthrocentesis or arthroscopy to clean and lubricate the joint for smoother movement.
