According to the American Dental Association, more than 15% of Americans suffer discomfort caused by Temporomandibular Disorder (TMD). TMD (or TMJ) is a condition of the temporomandibular joints, which are located on either side of your head. These joints work in conjunction with your muscles, ligaments, and bone-enabling activities such as speaking and chewing. When these joints are not working properly, it can cause a great deal of facial pain and other issues.
TMD SYMPTOMS MAY INCLUDE
- Facial, neck, or shoulder pain when you chew, speak & yawn
- Limited ability to fully open your mouth
- Jaw locking
- Clicking or popping sounds when you move your jaw
- Difficulty and discomfort with chewing or biting
- Facial swelling, toothaches, headaches, and neck aches
- Dizziness, earaches, and even hearing loss
