Factoids about TMD:
-
TMD is multifactorial in nature with a combination of factors that lead to overuse or abuse of the TMJ complex resulting in pain.
- ​Pain is described as being located around the ear which may radiate to the face, neck, or shoulders and is often associated with mastication (chewing).
-
Can manifest as an atypical headache.
-
Bite misalignment can result in painful, clicking, popping or grating sounds when masticating and can be associated with limited movement or locking of the jaw.
-
The central nervous system is intimately involved subconsciously in producing parafunctional habits like bruxing and clenching.
​
Facts about Tension Type Headaches (TH):
-
Patients describe TH as being a constant pressure like sensation as if the head was being squeezed bilaterally on both sides.
