Repetetive behaviors such as teeth grinding or clenching, gum chewing, fingernail biting, or STRESS lead to enlargement of the head and neck muscles. This disorder and dysfunction results in significant pain and impairment for many individuals. Symptoms include, grinding, migraines, chronic headaches, earaches, facial pain, and damage to the teeth. Traditional treatments for TMJ include the use of bite guards, removal of wisdom teeth, and full mouth constructions. These treatments usualy result in limited results.
