TMJ Disorder Treatment

Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders affect the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. This joint allows you to perform everyday functions like speaking and chewing. When it becomes dysfunctional, it can cause a range of issues:

Jaw Pain: Discomfort in the jaw joint or surrounding muscles.
Clicking or Popping Sounds: Audible noises when opening or closing the mouth.
Limited Movement: Difficulty in fully opening or closing the mouth.
Headaches: Pain that radiates to the head from the jaw.
Facial Discomfort: Pain in the face and neck area.

Causes of TMJ Disorders

Several factors can contribute to TMJ disorders, including:

Jaw Injury: Trauma or damage to the jaw or face.
Teeth Grinding (Bruxism): Often caused by stress, leading to excessive pressure on the TMJ.
Arthritis: Inflammation in the TMJ due to arthritis.
Jaw Misalignment: Issues with the alignment of teeth or the jaw.
