What Is TMJ Pain? 

 

The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ)  connects the lower jaw (mandible) to the skull, located in front of both ears. It enables essential movements such as talking and chewing. TMJ disorders, also called  Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMD) , impact the joint and the surrounding muscles, leading to pain and discomfort.

 

 

 

Signs and Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

 

- Jaw pain 

- Clicking or popping sounds in the jaw 

- Difficulty or pain while eating 

- Ear pain, ringing, or fullness 

- Facial tightness or soreness 

- Headaches and dizziness 

- Stiff jaw muscles 

- Pain in the temple region 

- Jaw locking or limited movement 

 

 

 

Types of TMJ Issues

1. Joint Problems:

-  Disk Displacement with Reduction:  

   The articular disc moves out of position but returns, causing a clicking or popping sound. 

  

-  Disk Displacement without Reduction: 

   A chronic condition where the disc remains displaced, leading to restricted jaw movement (commonly called "closed lock"). 

 

1. Muscle Problems:

Tightness in the jaw muscles can cause secondary symptoms like migraines, headaches, and facial pain, often radiating around the eyes or temples.

 

Risk Factors for TMJ Syndrome 

-  Stress:  Facial muscle contractions caused by stress can trigger painful spasms and tension, mimicking migraine symptoms. 

-  Gender:  Women are more prone to TMJ disorders. 

-  Age:  Most cases occur in adults aged 20-40 years. 

-  Pain Sensitivity:  Individuals with lower pain tolerance are more susceptible. 

-  Genetics:  A family history of TMJ disorders can increase the likelihood of developing the condition. 

-  Occupational Factors: Activities involving frequent jaw movement (like clenching or grinding teeth) increase the risk. 

-  Trauma:  Injuries to the jaw can trigger TMJ issues.
