What is TMJ Dysfunction?

Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction is pain in the jaw often caused by clenching and can be stress related. The pain the patient experiences can lead to limited jaw movement, as well as locking. The limited movement in the jaw not can only cause further pain but has a debilitating effect on being able to chew food. In the more severe cases, it can cause locking. This has a dramatic effect on a patient’s everyday life. There is increase tension in the facial muscles and around the neck, which then can cause migraines.
