When a problem occurs with the TMJ, various symptoms can arise. These include blockages, noises, or deviations during mouth movements. Affected individuals may also experience jaw pain, tooth pain, earaches, as well as headaches and neck pain.
TMJ disorders can have a direct impact on your quality of life. For example, difficulty opening your mouth to take a bite of your hamburger or simply biting into an apple can become a challenging task.

Several factors can contribute to TMJ issues, such as:
- Posture
- Lifestyle habits
- Stress or anxiety

- Following surgery or trauma
