About the treatment
What this field of dentistry looks at
This covers the whole chewing system: teeth, jaws, muscles and the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). When it isn’t working properly, you can get jaw pain and clicking, limited mouth opening, headaches, tooth wear, and grinding your teeth at night.
This starts with a consultation at STATUS Dental Center in Almaty: the doctor asks about your symptoms, examines your teeth and bite, checks the muscles and joint, and orders scans if needed. The plan that follows may include orthodontic or prosthetic treatment, or sometimes a mouthguard.

More detail
What causes jaw joint problems
Joint problems can be linked to a poor bite, missing teeth, past dental work, teeth grinding, or injury. The cause is often more than one thing, so it needs a doctor’s exam rather than self-treatment.
If you’ve noticed jaw clicking or pain for a while, book a consultation — the sooner the cause is found, the simpler the treatment. Many of these issues connect with orthodontics and prosthodontics, so see the Bite Correction page too.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
Which doctor treats jaw clicking?
Book a consultation at the clinic — the doctor will examine you and tell you whether you need an orthodontist, a prosthodontist or another specialist. Consultation — 3,000 ₸.
Do I need treatment if the jaw just clicks without pain?
Clicking without pain sometimes doesn’t need treatment, but it’s best to find the cause. If pain or limited opening appears, don’t put off a visit.
Do I need a mouthguard for teeth grinding?
Sometimes — a mouthguard protects the teeth from wear. Whether you need one is decided after an exam.
