What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint—the hinge connecting your jaw to your skull. You use it all day, every day—for talking, chewing, even yawning. When your temporomandibular joint is misaligned or under stress, it can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited movement.

What Causes TMJ Issues?

  • Teeth grinding or clenching (bruxism)
  • Jaw injury or trauma
  • Stress-related tension
  • Arthritis or joint degeneration
  • Poor bite alignment

Get evaluated during a full dental exam at Meza Dentistry in McAllen to identify the root cause of your TMJ issues.

Signs That It’s Time to See a Dentist

FAQs About TMJ Disorder

What’s the difference between TMJ and TMD?

TMJ is the name of the joint. TMD (temporomandibular disorder) refers to the condition or problems affecting the temporomandibular joint.

Can TMJ disorder go away on its own?

Mild cases sometimes improve without treatment, but chronic or worsening symptoms usually need professional care.

Do night guards really help with TMJ pain?

Yes. Custom night guards from Meza Dentistry reduce pressure from teeth grinding and relieve jaw stress.

Is TMJ treatment covered by insurance?

It depends on your provider and plan. Our office can help verify your coverage before starting treatment.

Can dental work like crowns help TMJ?

Restorative options like same-day crowns or dental fillings can realign your bite and ease joint strain.
