The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) serves as the connection between the skull and the lower jaw. When this joint experiences dysfunction, it can lead to significant pain and discomfort. One of the primary contributors to TMJ issues is an improper bite. Factors that may lead to TMJ dysfunction include:
Improper positioning of wisdom teeth or other teeth, crooked teeth, discrepancies in jaw proportions, oversized dental fillings, trauma or injury, bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching), arthritis, stress, genetics, poor posture, hormonal changes (such as those during puberty, pregnancy, or menopause), excessive chewing of gum or hard foods.
