Temporomandibular Joint Disorders (TMD) are disorders affecting the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which links the jaw to the skull. This joint is essential for speaking, chewing, and facial movements. When the TMJ is injured or inflamed, it can cause pain, dysfunction, and trouble with jaw mobility.
Causes of TMD include jaw damage or trauma.
Possible causes include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bruxism, jaw misalignment, and stress-induced jaw clenching.
Common symptoms include jaw pain or soreness.
Symptoms may include difficulty chewing and speaking, as well as clicking or popping sounds in the jaw.
• Jaw joint locks
• Headaches, ear pain, and facial discomfort.
Treatment options include lifestyle changes like stress management, avoiding difficult meals, and performing jaw exercises.
Medical interventions include pain relief, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory drugs.
• Treatment options include physical therapy, bite guards, and orthodontic treatments.
Surgery Options: In extreme situations, operations like arthrocentesis or joint replacement may be required.
Early diagnosis and therapy can efficiently manage TMD, reducing pain and improving jaw function. A proper treatment strategy requires consultation with a dentist or expert.
