Causes
Bruxism (Teeth Grinding)
Clenching or grinding the teeth, particularly during sleep, can put excessive strain on the TMJ and contribute to TMJ disorder.
Jaw Misalignment
An improper bite or misalignment of the teeth or jaw can strain the TMJ and lead to dysfunction.
Trauma or Injury
Previous jaw injuries, whiplash, or trauma to the head or neck area can damage the TMJ and surrounding tissues.
Arthritis
Degenerative joint diseases such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis can affect the TMJ.
Chewing Habits
Habitual chewing of hard or tough foods, excessive gum chewing, or nail biting can strain the TMJ.
