Understanding TMJ and Bruxism

TMJ disorder affects the temporomandibular joint—the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull—causing pain, stiffness, and difficulty opening or closing your mouth. Bruxism is the habit of grinding or clenching your teeth, often during sleep, which can wear down enamel and trigger headaches or jaw discomfort. These conditions frequently occur together and can significantly impact your daily comfort if left untreated.
