Can't do it because of a certain amount of pain when you try or because you hear an unusual clicking, grinding, or popping sound whenever you open your mouth? Welcome to the world of TMJ pain. This means that your jaws are no longer aligned properly or that the cartilage separating the lower and upper jawbones has already been worn down, keeping your jaw from moving correctly.
What is TMJ pain's major cause? Actually, there are quite a lot, but you can divide them into three. Major trauma, for example, takes place when there is direct impact to the jaw, such as a punch or being hit by an object. Minor trauma includes factors like teeth grinding and nailbiting. Another factor is joint disease, in which the cartilage between the jawbones is worn down or arthritis has attacked the area.
Which of these is causing your TMJ pain?
