Why TMJ Problems Are More Common Than People Realize
Many patients assume TMJ disorders are rare or simply “jaw clicking.” In reality, TMJ dysfunction is one of the most overlooked drivers of facial pain, poor sleep, airway restriction, headaches, and chronic muscle imbalance. As more providers pursue advanced TMJ courses, sleep education, and airway-focused training, it’s becoming clear that TMJ problems are far more widespread than most people realize.
At TMJ & Sleep Therapy Centre International, we’ve spent decades teaching clinicians how interdependent the jaw joint is with the airway, craniofacial growth, posture, and neuromuscular function. And the deeper we look, the more we see that TMJ disorders aren’t niche — they’re incredibly common.
