A TMJ View (Open/Close) X-ray captures your temporomandibular joint in both positions, giving your dentist or specialist the comparison they need to diagnose clicking, locking, pain, and restricted movement with confidence.
Toggle to see how the mandible rotates and translates at the joint — exactly what an Open/Close X-ray records.
A specialised digital radiograph that evaluates the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in both the closed-mouth and open-mouth positions, helping dentists and specialists assess joint alignment, movement, and condition.
Images captured closed and fully open let clinicians compare joint position and movement in a single visit, revealing changes a static image would miss.
Referrals are welcomed from dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, orthodontists, prosthodontists, and ENT specialists diagnosing jaw joint disorders.
Clear open/close imaging supports accurate diagnosis and guides effective, personalised treatment planning for jaw joint conditions.
One of the most complex joints in the body, located just in front of each ear, the TMJ powers nearly every jaw movement you make.
The mouth's core hinge motion
Grinding and breaking down food
Precise, repetitive articulation
Full, wide-range extension
Lateral gliding movement
