What Is TMJ/TMD—and Why Does It Hurt So Much?
TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the hinge that connects your jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it leads to TMD (temporomandibular joint disorder).
This can trigger pain, stiffness, clicking, or locking of the jaw. Stress, teeth grinding, misaligned bites, or trauma can all play a role. Fortunately, effective and gentle solutions are available.
At Dental Arts of Corinth, we help patients get to the root of the problem—and back to feeling good again.
Frequently Asked Questions About TMJ/TMD
- What causes TMJ/TMD? TMJ/TMD can be caused by teeth grinding (bruxism), jaw misalignment, arthritis, injury, or stress-related tension. Poor posture and dental issues can also contribute to improper jaw movement and joint inflammation.
- Will a nightguard help with TMJ/TMD pain? Yes. A custom-made nightguard can reduce stress on the jaw joint by preventing clenching and grinding during sleep. This can significantly reduce pain, inflammation, and wear on your teeth.
- What happens if TMJ/TMD is left untreated? Without treatment, TMJ/TMD symptoms may worsen over time. This can lead to chronic jaw pain, bite problems, headaches, tooth damage, and even permanent joint dysfunction.
- Can TMJ/TMD affect my ears or cause dizziness? Yes. Because the jaw joint is located near the ear, TMJ/TMD can cause earaches, ringing (tinnitus), a feeling of fullness, and even dizziness or balance issues in some patients.
