The Connection Between TMJ and Sleep Disorders
Headaches & Jaw Pain:
Over 98% of patients with TMJ-related pain report chronic migraines.
Sleep Disorders & Pain:
43% of TMJ patients also have sleep disorders, such as apnea or insomnia.
Clenching as a Symptom:
Sleep bruxism can indicate underlying airway issues, as clenching stabilizes the jaw and allows the tongue to move forward.
