TMJ disorder may seem like a small problem in the grand scheme, however, when left untreated, it can cause significant problems for people who suffer from it.

The symptoms of TMJ can vary widely from patient to patient. Almost all will experience tenderness or pain in their jaw, and many will feel clicking or popping sensations when they open and close their mouth. Often, difficulty chewing harder foods can cause discomfort and some people report headaches, tinnitus, or tension in the neck and shoulders. While millions of Americans are impacted by TMJ disorder, many may not be able to pinpoint the source of their discomfort as it continues to radiate into other parts of their head and upper body.
