At Keele Major Mac Dental Centre, Dr. Jacqueline Ha and her associates provide comprehensive assessment and treatment for Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) — a condition affecting the jaw joints, muscles, and surrounding structures that control chewing, speaking, and facial movement.
TMD can cause persistent jaw pain, difficulty chewing, headaches, and even ear-related symptoms. Our goal is to identify the root cause and deliver a personalized, non-surgical treatment plan to restore your comfort and function.
– TMJ stands for TemporoMandibular Joint — the hinge that connects your jawbone to your skull.
– TMD (TemporoMandibular Joint Disorder) refers to problems that affect this joint, the jaw muscles, and the supporting tissues.
When the TMJ isn’t functioning properly, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and difficulty with normal jaw movement.
Direct injury or trauma to the jaw joint, face, or surrounding muscles can cause inflammation, misalignment, or restricted movement — leading to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) over time.
Chronic teeth grinding (bruxism) or jaw clenching, often due to stress or airway obstruction during sleep, puts excessive pressure on the TMJ. This strain causes joint wear, muscle tension, and jaw pain.
Degenerative conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can damage the cartilage and bone within the TMJ, reducing its ability to move smoothly and resulting in pain and stiffness.
When teeth do not fit together properly, the jaw muscles and joints must compensate, creating uneven pressure. Over time, this imbalance can lead to TMJ strain and TMD symptoms.
Persistent tension in the neck, shoulders, or facial muscles — often linked to poor posture, stress, or sleep habits — can contribute to TMJ dysfunction and discomfort during jaw movement.
If you experience jaw pain, headaches, or clicking when you chew, don’t ignore the signs — early treatment can prevent long-term complications.

My family and I have been coming here for years. The staff are wonderful & the atmosphere is always warm and welcoming.I am terrified of needles and pain, and had an implant procedure today which I have been putting off for years due to the fear! Dr. Ha & her team went the extra mile to make sure I had a pleasant experience despite my fears. She put on relaxing music to help me calm down & stay relaxed during the entire procedure and constantly made sure I was doing okay.
I highly recommend Dr. Ha if you are looking for a new dental professional to take care of your teeth & make you smile.

I had very crooked teeth and went to few dentists to ask about options to straighten my teeth. My aunt told me to come here and I came to check out. The receptionist was very nice, helpful, and knowledgeable. She helps me feel at ease because I am scared of the dentists. To my surprise, Dr. Ha is a very fun and friendly dentist. She spent lots of time and explained in details what I need to do to take care of my teeth during the time I wear braces. I was so scared when I had to remove my four teeth in order to resolve my crooked teeth. Dr. Ha did it so fast, no pain and I was very comfortable with her. Dr. Ha also placed braces on my teeth and now I have beautiful straight teeth, done earlier than I expected and I am so thankful that she is my dentist.
I strongly recommend all the clients I meet at my work place to see her for any dental treatment they need. Dr. Ha is truly a five star dentist with her exceptional skills, profound depth of knowledge and a great sense of humour. I highly recommend her. 😉😉😉

This dental centre has longer operating hours then most clinics in Vaughan which accommodate to my availabilities. The dentist and their associate are very nice and knowledgeable in their work of specialty. The staff at the dental centre are very professional and welcoming. They take on new clients and they have appointments after 6 p.m on weekdays.
I recommend all families and neighbours to give this dental centre a chance to work on your teeth if you live in this area of Vaughan.
