TMJ and TMD Treatment at Harley Street: Custom Splints, DTR Therapy & T-Scan

‍

What Is the TMJ and Why Does It Matter?

Your temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is what allows your jaw to move, to speak, chew, yawn, and even smile. It connects your lower jaw (mandible) to your skull and is used hundreds of times a day.

But when stress, anxiety, or poor bite alignment interfere with how this joint functions, it can cause a painful condition called TMJ disorder (TMD). And the causes often run deeper than just the physical jaw.

How Mental Health Influences TMJ Pain

Many people don’t realise how closely the mind and mouth are connected. Mental stress can directly affect your jaw through:

• Jaw clenching or grinding during the day or night (bruxism)
• Facial tension and poor posture from anxiety
• Sleep disruption, worsening nighttime grinding
• Neglected oral hygiene due to low motivation
• Changes in eating and hydration habits

These subtle shifts can lead to chronic TMJ pain, headaches, clicking jaws, and long-term damage to your bite or teeth.

TMJ Symptoms You Shouldn’t Ignore

Do any of these sound familiar?

• Clicking, popping, or locking when opening your mouth
• Pain or stiffness in the jaw, temples, or ears
• Headaches or migraines, especially in the morning
• Facial or neck tension
• Pain when chewing or yawning
• Uneven bite or teeth not feeling like they “fit”

These could be signs of TMD. Catching it early makes treatment simpler and more effective.

How We Treat TMJ at This Is It Dental – Harley Street, London

Located on Harley Street in Marylebone, Central London, our clinic offers a whole-patient approach to TMJ care. We go beyond just giving you a night guard — our treatment combines emotional awareness, advanced technology, and custom therapy plans.

‍

1. Custom Occlusal Splints — Not Just a Night Guard

A standard night guard may help, but we provide bespoke occlusal splints custom-made for your bite using digital scans. These precision-fit devices:

• Reduce nighttime grinding and clenching
• Support jaw joint alignment
• Help your muscles relax
• Protect enamel from wear and cracks

Many patients find long-term relief once their jaw is supported correctly — day and night.

2. DTR Therapy – Advanced Bite Adjustment with Muscle Relief

We’re proud to offer Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) Therapy, performed by Dr Rena Uberoi, one of Harley Street’s most trusted TMJ and bite alignment specialists.

DTR uses computer-guided technology to adjust how your teeth come together, reducing stress on your TMJ and facial muscles. The results?

• Less muscle fatigue
• Shorter treatment times
• Fewer relapses and flare-ups
• More comfort throughout the day

This is a truly non-invasive way to bring lasting relief.

3. T-Scan Digital Bite Analysis – For Extreme Precision

We also use T-Scan bite analysis, a computerised system that measures how your teeth contact and the pressure between them.

This allows us to:

• Detect even the slightest imbalances
• Customise splints with more precision
• Track your progress over time
• Reduce trial-and-error adjustments

T-Scan makes your treatment faster, smarter, and more accurate.

4. Stress + Sleep Support for TMJ Relief

You can't fix your jaw without supporting your mental wellness. We guide you in improving:

• Sleep routines to reduce bruxism
• Breathing patterns to relax facial muscles
• Hydration and nutrition
• Awareness of jaw clenching habits during the day

This mind-body approach is what truly transforms TMJ care from short-term relief to long-term success.
