Understanding Jaw Pain & TMJD: A Message from Bunny Teeth Dental Clinic

Posted on: 15/Feb/2025 10:23:08 AM

Did you know that most jaw pain is linked to muscle problems? The way your tongue, facial, and mouth muscles function can play a huge role in TMJ disorders. Here’s why:

1. Muscle Compensation

When certain muscles in your face, tongue, or mouth don’t function properly, others step in to help. Over time, this extra work causes tension, fatigue, and pain.

2. Oral Ties (Tongue, Lip & Cheek Ties)

Restricted movement in the tongue, lips, or cheeks can affect nearby areas and even impact the whole body. This forces other muscles to compensate, leading to discomfort and strain.

3. Restricted Airway & Breathing Issues

A narrow airway can make it harder to breathe, especially at night. Your body may respond by clenching, grinding, or mouth breathing adding stress to already overworked muscles.

4. Malocclusion (Misaligned Bite)

When teeth don’t align properly, it can put uneven pressure on the jaw and surrounding muscles, contributing to TMJ pain and other issues.

Why is this important?

Your jaw, tongue, and airway are all connected! Addressing these concerns early can prevent pain, improve breathing, and support overall oral health.

Stay informed. Take action. Prioritize your wellness!
