What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is a small, hinge-like joint in the front of the ear where the skull and lower jaw meet. With TMJ disorder, this joint becomes inflamed and/or dysfunctional. As a result, patients with TMJ disorder may experience debilitating symptoms that hinder their ability to perform daily functions without discomfort or pain.
It’s important to note that there are activities and factors that can worsen TMJ. These factors include:
- Inadequate posture that puts pressure on the neck, shoulders, and face muscles
- Chewing on items such as pens or pencils
- Using the teeth to tear tags or open objects
- Chewing ice or gum frequently
- Clenching the teeth
Causes of TMJ Dysfunction
There is no sole cause of TMJ dysfunction. TMJ is linked to several different factors and underlying conditions, including:
- Pre-existing jaw injuries
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching (bruxism)
- Arthritis in the jaw joint
- Malocclusion (misalignment of the upper and lower teeth)
- High stress levels
Symptoms of TMJ
Symptoms of TMJ disorder may vary from one patient to the next. However, the most commonly seen symptoms of TMJ disorder include:
- Persistent jaw or facial pain or tenderness
- Reoccurring tension headaches or migraines
- Clicking or popping of the jaw
- Limited range of jaw motion
- Pain in the ear
- Shoulder or neck pain
- Jaw stiffness
- Toothaches
