How TMJ Affect Your Overall Health
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull. Dysfunction of its regular sliding motion from damage or injury can cause pain such as tension headaches, neck or ear pain, and sore jaw muscles. Over 15 percent of adults suffer from the effects of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD), and while exact causes of the disorder are unclear, it has been attributed to teeth grinding, or bruxism, stress and injury.
Occlusal adjustment, or the reshaping of the surfaces of the teeth to correct the alignment of the bite, can address teeth grinding and alleviate pain from TMD.
