Understanding TMJ Disorders

The TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull and allows for speaking, eating and moving the jaw. TMJ disorders occur when the joint is injured, misaligned or stressed, leading to discomfort or limited movement. Many cases are caused by teeth grinding, jaw clenching, arthritis or jaw injuries.Common symptoms include:
  • Jaw pain or stiffness
  • Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
  • Difficulty chewing or biting
  • Locking of the jaw in open or closed positions
  • Headaches or facial pain
  • Earaches or ringing in the ears

Our dentists and team perform thorough evaluations to identify the cause of your TMJ symptoms and recommend the most effective, conservative treatment approach.
