    FAQs About TMJ and Difficulty Chewing

    Q: Why do I have TMJ difficulty chewing?

    A: TMJ difficulty chewing often occurs when the jaw joint (temporomandibular joint) becomes misaligned or strained. This can cause pain, stiffness, and limited movement, making it hard to open or close your mouth fully. The TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre of Phoenix – East offers customized treatments to restore balance and function, helping you chew comfortably again.

    Q: What causes trouble chewing food or jaw pain while eating?

    A: Trouble chewing food or TMJ pain while chewing can be caused by teeth grinding, clenching, jaw misalignment, or inflammation of the jaw joint. These issues place extra stress on the muscles and ligaments that control chewing. Our specialists evaluate the source of your discomfort and create a treatment plan to relieve tension and restore smooth, pain-free jaw movement.

    Q: Can TMJ cause difficulty in chewing and swallowing?

    A: Yes. When the jaw joint and surrounding muscles are inflamed or unbalanced, it can lead to difficulty in chewing and even affect swallowing. Addressing the underlying TMJ disorder helps reduce strain on the jaw and improves overall oral function.

    Q: How can I get relief from jaw pain and difficulty chewing?

    A: If you’re experiencing jaw pain and difficulty chewing, our centre provides non-invasive therapies such as custom oral appliances, muscle relaxation techniques, and jaw alignment treatments. These approaches are designed to reduce pain, restore motion, and provide long-term relief without surgery.
