Problems asscoitated with the TMJ are:
- locking of jaw - headaches - earaches( buzzzing in ear)-
chewing discomfort - mysofacial pain

Problems with the TMJ can arise from a variety of causesof
which include - malocclusions (improper bite) or bruxism
(teeth grinding).

The most common treatment is the use of a an occlusal
splint or stabalisation splint as they are sometyimes

Bite guards are often used to deal with symptoms resulting
from bruxism and are worn in the night.
