What is a Mouth and Jaw (TMJ) MRI Scan?
An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scan is a safe, painless, and non-invasive procedure that uses powerful magnetic fields and radio waves to create high-quality, cross-sectional images inside your body. It is a powerful diagnostic tool that does not use potentially harmful radiation.
A TMJ MRI scan will produce detailed images of the jaw muscles, the mandible (jawbone), teeth, and the associated cartilage discs. This provides crucial information on disc position, morphology, mobility, and any signs of inflammation or disease in the connective tissue.
What Symptoms Would Prompt a TMJ MRI Scan?
You should consider a private TMJ MRI scan if you are experiencing persistent or unexplained symptoms related to your jaw, such as:
Pain that radiates through your jaw, face, and neck
Pain in your jaw or near your ear
Difficulty swallowing or speaking
Stiffness in your jaw muscles
A painful clicking or popping sound in the jaw
Loose teeth
An MRI may also be recommended if the cause of your symptoms is unclear from other examinations, or to gather more detailed information for a treatment plan.
What Can a Mouth and Jaw MRI Scan Detect?
The detailed images from your scan will allow our consultant radiologists to examine the complex structures within your mouth and jaw. A private TMJ MRI scan can help diagnose a range of conditions, including:
Temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD)
Dislocation or fractures
Osteonecrosis
Odontogenic tumours
Injuries to bones or tissues
The results of your scan will provide your oral pathologist or physician with the crucial information needed to make an informed diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate treatment for your condition.
How to Prepare for Your Scan
Our Patient Care Team will ensure you are fully prepared for your appointment. Please inform us about your medical history, especially if you have any implants or conditions that might affect the scan, such as pacemakers, artificial joints, or if you are pregnant or claustrophobic.
A mouth and jaw MRI scan takes approximately 40 minutes. We ask that you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment to check in. You will be asked to remove any metal objects or jewellery and may be given a gown to wear.
