What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder, or temporomandibular joint dysfunction (TMD), refers to a group of conditions affecting the jaw joints and surrounding muscles. These joints are responsible for basic movements like chewing, talking, and yawning—so when they’re not functioning properly, it can disrupt daily life.

Common causes include:

Jaw misalignment or bite issues
Tooth grinding (bruxism) or clenching
Stress and muscle tension
Jaw injury or trauma
Arthritis or joint inflammation

TMJ disorders can be temporary or chronic, and symptoms range from mild to severe.

If jaw pain is interfering with your life, don’t wait.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

TMJ problems often affect more than just your jaw. Because the jaw joint is connected to the head, neck, and facial muscles, symptoms can be wide-ranging and disruptive.

Do you have TMD? You might notice:

Jaw pain or stiffness, especially when chewing
Clicking, popping, or grinding noises in the jaw
Headaches, often around the temples or behind the eyes
Earaches or a feeling of pressure in the ears
Limited jaw movement or locking when opening/closing
Facial tenderness or muscle fatigue
Worn, cracked, or damaged teeth from clenching

Even one or two of these symptoms could indicate TMJ disorder.

TMJ Treatment FAQs

No. Most treatments, like night guards or Botox, are non-invasive and very well tolerated. We also offer options for those with dental anxiety.

Some cases resolve completely, especially with early treatment. Chronic TMD can be managed effectively long-term with consistent care.

Many patients feel improvement within days to weeks. Night guards and Botox often provide rapid relief from tension and pain.

Sometimes, especially if caused by temporary stress. But if symptoms persist for more than a few weeks, professional treatment is advised.

Surgery is rare and usually a last resort. Most patients respond well to non-surgical treatments, like night guards, Botox, or bite correction.
