New Responses to TMJ Disorder and Jaw Pain
Some 10 million people suffer from some form of TMJ Disorder: from jaw clicking or jaw popping whenever they yawn to intense migraine-like pain in the area around their ears. The temporomandibular joint is the hinge between your jaw and skull. The bone and muscles permit your jaw to move—not just up and down, but left and right, in and out. This kind of complexity is what makes TMJ Syndrome so common, and often so difficult to diagnose.
Helping You Solve the Problem
Modern dentistry has a whole array of TMJ Disorder responses—so your first response should be to make an appointment.
For some people, the answer may be a custom-fitted mouth guard to keep them from teeth grinding in their sleep. There’s even a battery-powered miniature sensing device, worn at night, to alert you when grinding occurs. Another plug-in device helps eliminate spasms and jaw pain by applying moist heat to the source of the pain for several minutes at a time.
If the problem stems from tooth alignment, orthodontic treatment can relieve the stress. Physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, muscle relaxants and stress management are all possibilities. The key, as always, is identifying the problem and then finding the response that works best for you.
Possible causes of TMJ Disorder
- Nightly teeth grinding (bruxism)
- Poor head/shoulder posture, causing tension in neck and jaw muscles
- Arthritis in the joint
- Damaged jawbone/joint structure
- Nerves being pinched by ball of jaw

What Is TMJ?
Jaw pain and jaw problems are the hallmarks of TMJ disorder. But first, it's important to understand the difference between two abbreviations: TMJ and TMD.
The temporomandibular joint (jaw joint) is abbreviated TMJ. Everyone has two TMJs, one on the left and one on the right, that hold the jaw (mandible) in place. The TMJ itself is a normal part of every healthy body.
On the other hand, TMD is not normal. TMD stands for temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ disorder or dysfunction). The cause of TMJ dysfunction is not always clear. However, certain factors are associated with increased TMJ symptoms, including:
- Teeth grinding or jaw clenching, especially at night (a condition known as bruxism)
- Jaw dislocation or another jaw injury
- Arthritis or other joint problems
- Stress
These are among the most common symptoms of TMJ:
- Popping jaw or clicking jaw
- Sore jaw
- TMJ headache (a TMJ headache feels very different from TMJ jaw pain)
TMJ dentists and other TMJ specialists can offer a range of treatments for TMJ.
