What is TMJ?
If you have frequent headaches, facial, or neck pain, you may have Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction or TMJ. This condition is a problem with the entire chewing system, not just the jaw joint, and correcting the problem, rather than the symptoms, is at the heart of TMJ treatment.
Don't ignore the symptoms
TMJ can cause headaches, muscle aches, pain in your face, neck, shoulders, or back, dizziness, earaches, and ringing in your ears. Getting treatment today from Haws/Greeneville Orthodontics can reduce or even eliminate these symptoms and the possibility of further damage.
