Clenching, Grinding, and Jaw Pain

Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) affects the jaw joints, muscles, and surrounding nerves, leading to discomfort and difficulty in daily functions such as chewing and speaking. Clenching, grinding, and jaw pain are common symptoms of TMD, often linked to stress, misaligned bites, bruxism (teeth grinding), and muscle tension. If left untreated, TMD can contribute to chronic headaches, nerve pain, and facial discomfort, affecting overall well-being.
