"Dr. Faber, how are TMJ disorders caused?"
The exact cause of the
disorder is unknown. Some factors are related to an improper bite,
poor posture, injury, arthritis, severe stress, or a combination of
factors. Sometimes clenching or grinding the teeth is involved.
These factors can cause muscles to tire and the ensuing hypertonicity
entraps nerve and vascular structures causing even more pain.
Repeated occlusal trauma may affect the temporomandibular joints, resulting in
tissue damage, muscle tenderness, and more spasm, perpetuating a cycle
of pain.
For more information about how we can help you with
TMJ problems, call
us at (206) 522-7568, we will be happy to help you.
