Jaw problems.
The way your teeth meet when your top and bottom jaws close down on top of each other is known as your bite. Misaligned teeth can cause dysfunction in the jaw joint and facial muscles.
TMJ disorder
Pain in the jaw, and everywhere it radiates.
Symptoms include pain in the jaw, neck, cheek, ear or shoulders, headaches, clicking sounds when moving the jaw, and restricted chewing movement.
Treatment ranges from custom-fitted night appliances that relax the jaw muscles, to orthodontics, replacement of missing teeth, adjusted bridgework, or maxillofacial surgery in severe cases. See your dentist as soon as possible, so problems do not worsen over time.
