Do you suffer from clenching, grinding your teeth, or tension headaches? Your overactive Masseter muscles may be the cause!
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joints (TMJ) — the joints that connect your lower jaw to your skull and allow you to talk, chew, and yawn.
TMD occurs when the jaw joint, surrounding muscles, or ligaments become overworked, inflamed, or misaligned, often due to muscle tension or joint dysfunction.
Some treatments are available in clinic to help alleviate the symptoms of TMD and it’s important that a thorough assessment is performed prior to treatment to assess suitability. Treatment results may vary based on the individual.
