TMJ Dysfunction is a term to describe a disorder of the jaw joints or
the muscles that control the joints. In this article we will use the dental
term, "Craniomandibular Dysfunction." Symptoms masquerade as
a multitude of other problems such as sinus headaches, migraines, neck
and shoulder stiffness and earaches. Symptoms may relate to your bite
and how they can successfully be treated by a health care professional
that has special education in managing these disorders.
Craniomandibular Dysfunction is a term, which describes a collection of
symptoms, which result when the chewing muscles and jaw joints do not
work correctly. TMJ is a popular term commonly used to
describe the same group of symptoms. TMJ stands for Temporomandibular
Joints. These are the two joints (TMJ) that connect your jaw to your skull.
When these joints are out of place, they can cause many problems, such
as:
- Clicking or popping of the jaw joints
- Pain in or around the jaw joints
- Locking or limited opening of your mouth
Muscle spasm goes hand-in-hand with displaced jaw joints. Because the
nerves and muscles are so complex in this area, when these muscles are
in spasm the problems can be far-reaching. People suffer from TMJ
symptoms they would never think to associate with their bite,
such as:
- Headaches
- Pain behind the eyes
- Dizziness
- Earaches or ringing of the ears
- Clenching or grinding of the teeth
- Neck, shoulder, or back pain
- Numbness, or tingling of the fingers
