What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder, also called TMD, affects the joint connecting your jawbone to your skull. This complex joint acts like a sliding hinge and allows you to talk, chew, and yawn. When the joint becomes inflamed, misaligned, or damaged, it can cause significant pain and dysfunction.
Common TMJ Symptoms
Jaw Pain or Tenderness in the jaw joint area, often worsening when chewing or speaking.
Clicking or Popping Sounds when opening or closing your mouth, sometimes accompanied by a grinding sensation.
Limited Jaw Movement or difficulty opening your mouth fully, which may lock in an open or closed position.
Frequent Headaches especially tension headaches that start near the temples or ears.
Ear Pain or Pressure without signs of infection, often accompanied by ringing in the ears.
Facial Pain that radiates from the jaw to the cheeks or neck area.
Causes of TMJ Disorder
TMJ problems can result from teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), jaw injury or trauma, arthritis in the jaw joint, misaligned bite or teeth, stress causing muscle tension, or poor posture affecting neck and jaw alignment. Often, multiple factors contribute to TMJ dysfunction.
