Common Causes of TMJ Disease

TMJ disorder can develop due to various factors, including:

Jaw Misalignment
Poor alignment of the jaw can create uneven pressure on the temporomandibular joint, leading to pain.

Muscle Tension & Stress
Tension in the jaw muscles due to stress or teeth grinding can cause pain and discomfort.

Injury or Trauma
Past injuries or whiplash can affect the jaw joint and lead to TMJ symptoms.

Arthritis or Joint Degeneration
Degenerative conditions like arthritis can cause joint wear and tear, leading to dysfunction in the TMJ.

Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Habitual grinding or clenching of teeth often leads to muscle tension and misalignment in the jaw.
