What are the causes of jaw joint disorder syndrome

For young and middle-aged people who are in their prime years, although some diseases rarely occur to them, there are still some diseases that are unique to this age group. Mandibular joint disorder syndrome is one of them. The most common group of people suffering from mandibular joint disorder syndrome is teenagers. However, this disease is easier to treat and generally there are no sequelae. Therefore, understanding the causes of mandibular joint disorder syndrome and providing targeted treatment can help you solve your troubles.

1. Traumatic factors

Many patients have a history of local trauma. Such as acute traumas such as external impact, sudden biting of hard objects, opening the mouth too wide (such as yawning); also frequent chewing of hard food, nighttime grinding of teeth, and unilateral chewing habits. These factors may cause joint contusion or strain and dysfunction of the chewing muscles, which may also have a certain impact on the occurrence of this disease.

2. Occlusal factors

Many patients have obvious occlusal disorders. Such as high tooth cusps, excessive tooth wear, too many missing molars, poor dentures, and too low intermaxillary distance. Disorders in occlusal relationships can disrupt the functional balance between the internal structures of the joints and promote the occurrence of this disease.

3. Systemic and other factors

Neuropsychiatric factors may be related to this disease. For example, some patients are irritable, nervous, and easily excited. In addition, some patients have a history of rheumatism, and some of their illnesses are related to cold.

The main clinical manifestations of temporomandibular joint disorder syndrome include local soreness or pain, clicking and movement disorders. The pain may be located in the joint area or around the joints; it may be accompanied by tenderness of varying degrees. Joint soreness or pain is especially noticeable when chewing or opening the mouth. The snapping sound occurs when the mouth is opened. The sound can occur at different stages of mandibular movement and can be a crisp single sound or a series of fragmented sounds. The most common movement disorder is limited mouth opening, but excessive mouth opening or mandibular deviation when opening the mouth may also occur. In addition, it may be accompanied by symptoms such as temporal pain, dizziness, and tinnitus.

After understanding the cause and clinical manifestations of jaw disorder syndrome, I hope you can have a correct understanding of this disease. During treatment, it is recommended that patients use acupuncture treatment, which is not only effective but also has no side effects. In order to achieve better treatment results, it is recommended that colleagues during treatment pay attention to changing bad eating habits and pay attention to local muscle exercises.
