Emotional factors such as anxiety, fear, anger, and trauma, all play a significant role in the causes of TMJ disorders. This is mostly due to the fact that they may cause muscular tension in the jaw, and involuntary grinding of the teeth.

The excessive clenching of the jaw muscles, and the sliding from side to side of the joint, will cause pain which may radiate to the neck, or the surrounding muscles and tissues. This often creates various symptoms which can make a TMJ disorder sometimes difficult to diagnose.

When you have a headache or neck pain, you might not think that your jaw could actually be the cause. However, the temporo-mandibular joint, or TMJ, could be the reason you are suffering. The TMJ is the hinge-like joint connecting the jaw to the skull. It enables the jaw to move up and down and from side to side, so that you can laugh, talk, chew and yawn.

TMJ is a term used to describe the temporo-mandibular joint, which connects the mandible (jawbone) to the skull. It allows you to move your jaw up and down and from side to side, so that you can talk, chew, and yawn.

Grinding and clenching your teeth is a widespread and an unpleasant problem. It may sound relatively harmless, but continually grinding and gnashing your teeth, may become a habit which can lead to long-term damage to your teeth. The medical name for this condition is known as Bruxism, and unfortunately many people do not even seem to realise that they have the condition.
