"Dr. Bowden and Dr. Osmunson, how are TMJ disorders caused?"
The exact cause of the
disorder is unknown. Some factors are related to an improper bite, injury,
arthritis, severe stress, or a combination of factors. Clenching or
grinding teeth, a condition called bruxism, may develop from stress or as
part of a sleep disorder.
This can tire muscles and create painful spasms, causing even more
pain. Repeated muscle problems may affect the joints, resulting in
tissue damage, muscle tenderness, and more spasm, perpetuating a cycle
of pain.
For more information about how we can help you with
TMJ problems, call
us at 503 675-7300, we will be happy to help you.
