What is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull and play a critical role in speaking, chewing, and yawning. When these joints or surrounding muscles become irritated or misaligned, it can result in TMJ disorder, a condition that causes pain and restricted jaw movement.
TMJ issues may develop due to teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, stress, arthritis, or injury. Without treatment, symptoms may worsen over time and affect overall oral health.
Signs & Symptoms of TMJ Disorder
TMJ disorder can present in several ways. Common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Headaches or migraines
- Facial, neck, or shoulder pain
- Difficulty chewing or jaw stiffness
- Ear pain or ringing without infection
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, a professional TMJ evaluation can help determine the cause and appropriate treatment.
