| What is TMJ Disorder (TemporoMandibular Joint Disorder)? |
| -TMJ is a common disorder used to describe the dysfunction of the jaw muscles and joints. Symptoms of TMJ can be popping or clicking of the jaw when you open and close your mouth. It can also include clenching, grinding, neck pain, jaw pain, wear on teeth, and severe migraines. Symptoms of TMJ disorder are treated very successfully with a custom fitted mouth piece called a "splint". A splint fits snugly on your upper teeth and is worn at night. The splint allows your jaw muscles to relax and alleviate symptoms. |
