What Are TMJ Disorders?

Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) encompass issues related to the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. Everyday actions like eating, speaking, yawning, or even smiling require synchronized action of these structures. Disruptions whether due to muscle imbalance, disc displacement, injury, or arthritis can lead to inflammation, pain, and impaired function.

Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders

  • Jaw or facial pain, particularly around the ear area

  • Clicking, popping, or grinding noises during jaw movement

  • Difficulty or locking when opening or closing the mouth

  • Headaches, neck or shoulder pain, and tooth sensitivity

  • Earaches, tinnitus, or dizziness possibly related to TMJ issues

What Causes TMJ Disorders?

TMD can result from a variety of factors:

  • Muscle overuse due to teeth grinding (bruxism), clenching, or gum-chewing
