Tmj Disorders
What is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorders affect the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. This joint helps you speak, chew, and move your mouth. When it doesn’t function properly, it can lead to pain and restricted movement.
Causes of TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders can develop due to:
- Teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Jaw injury or trauma
- Stress and jaw clenching
- Arthritis affecting the joint
- Misalignment of teeth or jaw
