While visiting with a couple, the discussion turned to the wife's teeth grinding habit. This is not something she is conscious of, but her husband has actually lost sleep over it.
She acquired a special "bite guard" for a few hundred dollars. It did help protect her teeth from the constant wear she was putting on them. However, the actual grinding still continued.
Since she had been grinding her teeth for so long, she eventually also developed TMJ.
People who suffer from TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder know just how problematic this can be. The temporomandibular joint is affected.
The temporomandibular joint connects the jawbone to the skull.
TMJ problems can include a number of various components surrounding the joint such as the teeth, tendons, bones and ligaments. Pain or a dysfunction with any of these areas can be a symptom of TMJ.
Due to the number of causes, who should treat it can vary. Some causes may be:
Excessively chewing gum, grinding the teeth, joint trauma or injury, having an "off bite, habitual nail biting, and soem degenerative joint diseases.
Other potential symptoms include "jaw popping" or "clicking" sound when the jaw moves. Or, sensitive teeth (due to improper bite damage), facial pain, earaches or tinnitus.
TMJ can also lead to hearing loss since the joint is so close to the ear. Continuous pain can cause the ear muscles holding the ear bones to contract.
As a result, the ear bones stop moving. In order to hear well, these bones need to move.
This is what had happend to my friend. Her husband also pointed out that continually asked him to repeat most of what he would say to her.
Correcting the hearing loss is possible if the pain from TMJ is removed. Certain pain relievers in pill form sometimes create a short term fix. Unfortunately, they also tend to create other problems as nearly all medications do.
I strongly recommend my TMJ No More Program. It is all natural and has been very successful at alleviating teeth grinding as well as TMJ.
