Everything you need to know about the guide and Smile Design Studio

How do I book an appointment?

You can book a complimentary TMJ Assessment by clicking here or by calling (08) 9468 3322. During your visit, Dr. Vicky will assess your jaw movement, muscle activity, and bite balance to create a tailored plan for lasting relief.

What TMJ services does Dr. Vicky offer?

At Smile Design Studio, TMJ care includes:

- Neuromuscular (GNM) diagnostics and bite alignment

- Custom orthotics designed for muscle harmony

- Jaw tracking and EMG muscle analysis

- Co-managed physiotherapy or adjunct therapies (as needed)

Each plan is individualised and focused on cause-based correction, not short-term symptom masking.

What is TMJ?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) refers to the joint and muscles that control jaw movement. When they’re not working in harmony, you may feel tension, pain, headaches, or clicking sounds.

Does treatment always involve a splint?

Not always. Some cases respond best to custom orthotics, while others improve with posture correction, physiotherapy, or bite realignment, depending on your individual diagnosis.

Can TMJ symptoms improve without medication?

Yes. Many patients experience relief through precise bite alignment, muscle relaxation therapy, and guided home care, all aimed at reducing strain naturally.
