When the joints in your jaw are strong and well-balanced, your mouth may move freely, making eating and speaking a breeze. You could start to have TMD if your jaw and/or teeth start to shift out of alignment.
TMD causes soreness in the jaw muscles, trouble opening the mouth, and, in rare cases, a popping or clicking sound. Misaligned teeth and jaws, the most prevalent cause of TMD, are the consequence of an improper bite.
Sleep grinding, or bruxism, is a typical sign of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Deterioration of tooth enamel and structural damage may result from grinding your teeth, which in turn can cause additional dental problems. Untreated TMD may lead to tooth loss and jawbone erosion.
