TMJ or more properly TMJ dysfunction or TMD affects the joints of your jaws and can affect your entire body.
It has been coined the "Great Impostor" because its symptoms mimic many other issues, such as headaches, migraines, ear infections, among a few.
It can be very debilitating and can be treated non-surgically in our office.
Medications just mask the symptoms, they do nothing for the root cause of your problem.
In many instances the problems start soon after birth.
Breast-feeding starts the child down a good path.
TMD can manifest with many different symptoms.
Some sufferers have all of the symptoms and some have only a few.
Some of the symptoms are headaches, migraines, neck and shoulder pain, facial pain, jaw pair, ear pain, ringing in the ears or tinnitus and click or popping of one or both joints.
Some of these symptoms involve just a single joint and some involve both joints.
These symptoms may only occur in the morning or at night or they may be mild or severe.
Because there are so many variables it is important to determine the cause of the problem.
When a patient's bite is not properly aligned, TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunctions and a number of related symptoms can arise.
One of these symptoms is facial pain.
The jaw area of the face is a complex network of bones, joints, muscles, and nerves.
When the jaw becomes unaligned, the surrounding bones, muscles, and nerves are also affected.
This includes the muscles of the face, which experience strain or spasm because the muscles are working extra hard to compensate for the unstable bite.
Because TMJ is a dysfunction of the jaw joint, jaw pain is a very common symptom.
A 'bad bite' in which your upper and lower teeth do not come together in proper alignment also disrupts the placement of the jaw and the surrounding muscles.
This imbalance in the bite-jaw-muscle relationship is what causes the pain in the jaw.
Pressure and forces on the teeth can cause bone to dissolve or extra boney projections to be built up.
Dr. Widen can help alleviate jaw pain related to TMJ by realigning the bite.
