TMJ / TMD TREATMENT
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to your skull and allows you to speak, chew, and open and close your mouth comfortably. When this joint or the surrounding muscles become strained or misaligned, it can lead to temporomandibular disorder (TMD).
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds in the jaw
- Difficulty opening or closing the mouth
- Frequent headaches or migraines
- Ear pain, ringing in the ears, or facial pain
- Jaw locking or stiffness
TMJ disorders can be caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, stress, injury, or arthritis.
