There are many causes of TMJ, and while the syndrome is not fully understood, there are many factors that need to be taken into consideration such as injury or misalignment to teeth and jaw, teeth grinding (bruxism), stress or anxiety, arthritis, and the most obvious gum chewing.

Determining the cause of a TMJ problem is important because it is the cause that guides the treatment. At AZ TMJ we want to treat the symptoms of your pain, so you don’t have to live another day in pain! As a provider of TMJ treatment we have studied the various causes of TMJ and can help reduce/relieve your pain at our Scottsdale, Arizona office, located just outside of Phoenix.
