This can get damaged or displaced and can lock the joint up. Alternatively this joint can be over-stressed and the ligaments and muscles attached to it may become inflamed. This can lead to TMJ disorder:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>TMJ pain<\/li>\n<li>Facial pain<\/li>\n<li>Joint clicking<\/li>\n<li>Joint locking<\/li>\n<li>Referred pain which may seem like a headache<\/li>\n<li>Sore tired muscles in the face<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is unclear exactly what causes TMJ disorder and there are many symptoms. In fact one of the difficulties in diagnosing TMJ disorder is that the symptoms are so common that many people do not even realise that their jaw is the cause of their problems. For example, some of the symptoms of TMJ disorder are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness and vision problems<\/li>\n<li>Jaw, ear, facial pain<\/li>\n<li>Neck, shoulder and back pain<\/li>\n<li>Altered\u00a0hearing<\/li>\n<li>Clicking, popping or grating sounds in the jaw joint<\/li>\n<li>Locking of the jaw when attempting to open your mouth<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms please feel free to give us a call. We are always happy to conduct a consultation where Dr Priestland can conduct a thorough examination and determine whether or not you have TMJ disorder.<\/p>\n","url":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/category\/tmj-dysfunction\/","hasPart":[{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/temporo-mandibular-joint-problems\/","headline":"Temporo-mandibular (TM) Joint Problems and Therapy","url":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/temporo-mandibular-joint-problems\/","datePublished":"2016-06-19","dateModified":"2021-04-19","mainEntityOfPage":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/temporo-mandibular-joint-problems\/","author":{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/author\/admin\/#Person","name":"admin","url":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/author\/admin\/","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8332d597554647ad1a751e441d0749?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/7e8332d597554647ad1a751e441d0749?s=96&d=mm&r=g","height":96,"width":96}},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Dr Colin Priestland","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/index.png","url":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/index.png","width":577,"height":143}},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/tmj-symptoms-problems-and-treatment.png","url":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/tmj-symptoms-problems-and-treatment.png","height":290,"width":619},"keywords":["clicking jaw","jaw issues","oral surgery","popping jaw","Temporo-mandibular","TMJ","Treatments"]},{"@type":"BlogPosting","@id":"https:\/\/nqsurgicaldentistry.com.au\/chronic-headaches\/","headline":"Chronic Headaches?
