What Are TMJ Disorders?
TMJ disorders, or TMDs, refer to a group of conditions that affect the joints connecting your jawbone to your skull. These joints play a vital role in common actions like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When the TMJ becomes misaligned or inflamed, it can lead to discomfort, limited jaw movement, and even chronic pain.
What Causes TMDs?
TMD can stem from a variety of causes, including:
- Bite misalignment, where the top and bottom jaws aren’t lined up
- Teeth grinding, also known as bruxism
- Arthritis, which can affect a variety of joints including the TMJ
- Chronic stress
Common Symptoms of TMDs
Many people experience similar symptoms of TMDs. If you have a problem with TMJ pain, you may experience:
- Discomfort or pain when you chew, yawn, or speak
- Tenderness in your jaw, especially near the ear or along the jawline
- Frequent headaches, particularly around the temples
- Clicking, popping, or grinding sounds when opening or closing the mouth
- Difficulty chewing or feeling that your bite is “off”
Our experts at Bountiful Orthodontics don’t just treat the symptoms of TMDs. We take a comprehensive, whole-patient approach to crafting a treatment plan that restores daily function and relieves jaw pain.
