Temporomandibular joint<\/h3>\n

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a very complex joint located between the lower jaw and the temporal cavity (in front of the ear). A temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) can be the result of trauma or the jaw\u2019s own morphology. Occlusion problems, the removal of wisdom teeth, stress or fatigue can lead to a TMD.<\/p>\n

    Bruxism<\/h3>\n

    Bruxism is an involuntary contraction of the jaw that occurs other than when swallowing or chewing. It is often related to anxiety or stress.<\/p>\n

    There are two types of bruxism: static, which consists of clenching your teeth, and dynamic, which is when you grind your teeth. Either type can occur during the day or at night, affecting both men and women.<\/p>\n

      Malocclusion<\/h3>\n

      Malocclusion occurs if the top and bottom teeth don\u2019t meet up properly. This can be due to improperly positioned, overlapping or missing teeth. The condition often leads to chewing problems, muscle tension and an increased risk of developing cavities or gum disease.
      \nJaw disorders are very complex and require professional advise. Do not hesitate to contact us should you have any pain or doubts.<\/p>\n
