Understanding TMJ
What Is TMJ Disorder?
The temporomandibular joints connect your jaw to your skull on each side of your head, letting you speak, chew, yawn and move your jaw comfortably. When the joints or surrounding muscles become strained, inflamed or misaligned, patients may develop TMJ disorder (TMD).
TMJ disorders can range from mild discomfort to chronic pain, and without treatment, symptoms may worsen and interfere with daily activities. Our goal is to identify the source of your symptoms and create a plan for lasting relief.
Common contributing factors
- Teeth grinding (bruxism) and jaw clenching
- Stress and muscle tension
- Bite misalignment
- Arthritis, jaw injuries or chronic muscle strain
Why treat it

What causes TMJ disorders?
TMJ disorders can result from teeth grinding, jaw clenching, stress, bite misalignment, arthritis, trauma or muscle strain.
Can TMJ disorders go away on their own?
Some mild cases may improve temporarily, but persistent symptoms often require professional evaluation and treatment to prevent worsening.
Can teeth grinding cause TMJ problems?
Yes. Chronic grinding and clenching place excessive pressure on the jaw joints and surrounding muscles, which can contribute to TMJ symptoms.
Will a night guard help my TMJ symptoms?
Many patients experience relief with a custom night guard because it reduces pressure on the jaw joints and minimizes nighttime grinding.
When should I seek treatment?
Schedule an evaluation if you experience persistent jaw pain, headaches, clicking, popping, jaw locking or difficulty chewing.
