Facial Aches, Jaw Pain & T.M.J Disorders – What Causes Them?
The jaw joint connects your jaw to the skull and plays a vital role in chewing, speaking, and posture. When this joint is strained or misaligned, it can lead to:
-
Jaw pain or stiffness
-
Clicking or popping sounds
-
Facial muscle pain
-
Headaches or migraines
-
Ear pain or ringing (without ear infection)
-
Neck and shoulder pain
Many patients are surprised to learn that their pain originates from dental bite problems, not just the jaw joint itself.
Occlusion and Its Importance
Occlusion refers to how your upper and lower teeth come together when you bite. Even a small imbalance in your bite can overload the jaw joint and facial muscles.
Poor occlusion may result in:
-
Uneven pressure on jaw joints
-
Muscle fatigue and facial pain
-
Tooth wear or fractures
-
TMJ dysfunction
At Toothfairy, occlusion analysis is a key part of diagnosing facial aches and TMJ-related problems.
Occlusal Correction Gives Immediate Relief to Facial Aches & Pains
Correcting the bite can bring fast and noticeable relief. Depending on your condition, Toothfairy may recommend:
-
Bite adjustment
-
Occlusal splints / night guards
-
Orthodontic correction
-
Myofunctional or jaw therapy
-
Many patients report immediate reduction in facial pain and jaw tension once the bite is stabilized.
