TMJ and Sleep Disorder Symptoms
Jaw Clicking
Clicking sounds when you open or close your mouth are often due to the displacement of the disc that sits between the jaw and the skull.
Headaches & Migraines
When the TMJ is not functioning properly, it can put pressure on the trigeminal nerve, which can lead to migraines or headaches.
Jaw Pain
People with TMJ disorders may experience persistent pain in their jaw that can affect their daily activities.
Snoring
A sleep-disorder symptom caused by partial obstruction of the airway, leading to loud breathing sounds during sleep
Teeth Grinding
Grinding your teeth is a common symptom of both TMJ and sleep disorders, often resulting in tooth wear and jaw pain.
Tinnitus
A ringing or buzzing sound in the ears, which can be a symptom of TMJ or sleep related disorders
Popping
Popping sound in the jaw joint, which may be a sign of TMJ, often due to the misalignment of the jaw joint.
Jaw Locking
A more severe TMJ symptom that can cause the jaw to become stuck in an open or closed position.
Jaw Clenching
Clenching is a sustained contraction of the jaw muscles, often leading to jaw pain and headaches.

This is the office and staff to go to, for TMJ and or just sleep difficulties. Not only is Dr. K’s knowledge of both areas stellar, but she strives to continually educate herself to provide support and answers for her patients. I so wish I had known about the root of my sleeping problems yrs ago, but I am so thankful I have been under her care now. So many issues have improved and I am grateful.
