Have you heard about TMJ disorders? Check for symptoms and see if you experience any of them
Temporomandibular joint disorder or TMJ disorder is referred to a pain and compromised movement of the jaw joint and the surrounding muscles. TMJ disorder is mostly self-diagnosable, and it is treatable within a few months. Jaw pain, pain in face, ear or mouth, difficulty chewing or even toothache, muscle spasms and clicking and locking of the jaw joint are some of the symptoms.
Medical professionals suggest so common treatments including self-care and devices such as bite guards, and physical therapy.

Devices
Mouth guards
Custom-made teeth guards
Custom-made teeth guards are fabricated to be fitted over your lower or upper arch. These devices act like a cushion between your teeth and prevent you from clenching or grinding your teeth. This puts enough rest on the temporomandibular joint and helps it recover over times.
