Understanding TMJ Disorder
A TMJ disorder is a complex disorder of the temporomandibular joints that stretches out your jaw muscles thereby creating issues. This condition sometimes is so bad that it can damage your jaw and cause severe inflammation in the tissue and gums. While stress is a major cause of TMD, there could be various other reasons that make you clench your jaw, therefore, adding stress to these joints. The sooner you begin treatment with us, the better it is since mild TMJ can be treated with medication or oral splints but something major may require corrective jaw surgery.
