What Causes TMJ?

Some people develop jaw problems because of arthritis or other oral health problems while others are diagnosed with TMJ because of daily habits that have caused misalignment of the jaw. If you have a habit of grinding and clenching your teeth, or chewing on hard objects, you may increase your risk of developing jaw health issues. Damage to the jaw joint can be a problem for those with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
