What Is TMJ Disorder?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) plays an important role in everyday movements like speaking, chewing, and yawning. When the joint, surrounding muscles, or bite alignment are affected, it can lead to temporomandibular disorders (TMD).

TMJ concerns can be associated with factors such as teeth grinding, clenching, bite imbalance, muscle tension, or stress on the jaw joint. Addressing the underlying cause can help improve comfort and protect your teeth from excessive wear.

Common Signs of TMJ Problems

TMJ issues can present in different ways. You may benefit from an evaluation if you experience:

Jaw pain or tenderness

Frequent headaches or facial tension

Worn or damaged teeth

Clicking, popping, or discomfort when opening your mouth

Soreness in the jaw muscles

Neck, shoulder, or facial discomfort

Difficulty or discomfort while chewing

Teeth grinding or clenching
