The temporomandibular joint disorder is a painful jaw condition that happens for several reasons, including stress, dental issues, arthritis, and injuries. Some wonder if orthodontic treatments like braces can cause TMD. Orthodontic treatment repositions teeth, which increases bite force, causing TMD symptoms. Braces can also irritate and lead to tooth grinding. Careful treatment planning, monitoring, stress management, and appliance adjustments by the orthodontist can minimize TMD risk.
