Discomfort such as headaches, clicking sounds when chewing, or malocclusion may be related to temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ). In this episode, we take a closer look at its symptoms, causes, and treatment options from a dental perspective. We speak with Dr. Maripaz Aguilar, a dentist specializing in temporomandibular joint disorders, with more than 30 years of experience in Querétaro.
Factors such as bruxism, poor posture, stress, and even certain daily habits can alter jaw alignment, causing discomfort that affects quality of life. Dr. Aguilar explains how to identify these causes and details treatments such as mandibular deprogramming and the use of splints to relieve tension and restore balance in the joint.
