TMJ means temporomandibular joint as well as is used to define disorder or problems associated with the joint. “Temporo,” refers to the temple location of the skull; “mandibular,” describes the reduced jaw; and also “joint” is basically where the head as well as jaw meet.

TMJ Issues

Issues in this joint may be caused by a trauma, imbalance of the teeth, or excess muscle tension. Both bones that fulfill at the jaw are buffered by cartilage material as well as five different muscular tissues, so TMJ can cause a variety of problems.

TMJ Symptoms:

  • Headaches
  • Earaches
  • Trouble/soreness in opening and also shutting the mouth
  • Popping or clicking of the jaw
  • Pain in the jaw muscular tissues
  • Soreness in the location, occasionally encompassing the face

Oral therapies for the condition can include replacing missing teeth, relocating teeth, readjusting the bite, loading voids in between teeth, and more.

There is no one option that is appropriate for all cases. Occasionally a plastic mouth piece is used to stop clenching or grinding that is adding to the problem. Surgical treatment may be needed to repair the severely damaged joint if TMJ is left unattended as well as gets to extremes.
