At Yanagi Dental Irvine, we understand the debilitating effects of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD).

If you’re experiencing jaw pain, stiffness, or clicking, you’re not alone. Let’s delve into the causes and effective treatments available to you.
Understanding TMD: What Causes It?
Temporomandibular joint disorder can arise from various factors, including:
- Bruxism: Habitual teeth grinding or clenching, often exacerbated by stress, can strain the jaw muscles and joint.
- Trauma: Any injury to the jaw, head, or neck area can lead to TMD symptoms.
- Malocclusion: Misalignment of the teeth and jaw can put undue pressure on the temporomandibular joint.
- Arthritis: Degenerative joint diseases like arthritis can affect the TMJ, causing pain and dysfunction.
- Stress: Emotional or psychological stress can manifest physically, leading to jaw tension and TMD symptoms.
