What Causes Jaw Joint (TMJ) Pain

If you often hear a clicking sound when opening your mouth or wake up with jaw stiffness, you might be experiencing a TMJ disorder - a condition affecting the temporomandibular joint that connects your jaw to your skull.

TMJ pain can result from teeth grinding, jaw misalignment, arthritis, stress, or injury. While mild cases may improve with rest and exercises, persistent symptoms often require specialist evaluation.

Common signs include constant pain, limited mouth opening, locking, or headaches radiating from the jaw.

At AWOMS, our surgeons use advanced technologies to assess the joint and design tailored treatment - from conservative management to corrective surgery when necessary.

Early diagnosis can prevent long-term discomfort and joint damage.

If TMJ pain is impacting your daily life, visit AWOMS in Albury, Wagga Wagga, Griffith, or Wangaratta for expert care.
