What is TMJ Disorder?
TMD, or temporomandibular disorder, is often referred to as TMJ. This condition involves pain and restricted movement in the jaw joint, which can affect everyday activities like chewing, speaking, and swallowing. In more severe cases, TMJ may even interfere with normal breathing patterns.
Common signs of TMJ include persistent facial pain, swelling, muscle tenderness, jaw clicking or locking, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth. Many patients also experience nighttime teeth grinding or notice discomfort when moving the jaw.
Additional symptoms may include:
- Headaches or migraines
- Pain around the jaw, ears, cheeks, or neck
- Jaw stiffness or tension
- Earaches or ringing in the ears
- Discomfort when yawning
- Painful or limited chewing
- Locking or popping of the jaw joint
- Changes in how upper and lower teeth align
If you’re struggling with these symptoms, our team can perform a thorough evaluation to identify the cause and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
