Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders refer to a group of conditions affecting the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, causing pain, limited mobility, and other symptoms that can negatively impact daily life.
The main causes of TMJ disorders include teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism), jaw injuries, misaligned bite (malocclusion), stress, and joint inflammation. Common symptoms of TMJ disorders are jaw pain, locking of the jaw, and clicking or popping sounds during mouth movements.
Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of the condition. Mild cases may be managed with lifestyle changes, stress management, and muscle relaxation exercises. More severe cases may require the use of night guards, medication, or physical therapy. In advanced cases, surgical intervention might be necessary.
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are essential for managing TMJ disorders effectively. A comprehensive evaluation by a specialist dentist is crucial in identifying the source of the issue and creating an appropriate treatment plan.
