While occasional jaw discomfort may resolve naturally, chronic TMJ problems typically require professional treatment. Without proper intervention, TMJ disorders (TMD) often progress, leading to increased pain and potential complications.
The Progressive Nature of TMD
TMJ disorders develop from underlying issues that affect your jaw joint, muscles, and bite alignment. These fundamental problems rarely correct themselves without treatment.
What begins as minor jaw discomfort can progress to chronic pain, worn teeth, and difficulty with daily activities like eating and speaking. Compensating for jaw pain can even lead to altered behaviors and muscle patterns that can worsen the condition over time. This does not have to be your reality!
