What Is TMJ?

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) refers to the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. It allows you to move your jaw up and down, side to side, and is essential for actions like chewing and speaking. However, when the TMJ is misaligned or dysfunctional, it can lead to a range of painful symptoms, including:

Jaw pain or tenderness
Difficulty opening or closing your mouth
Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw
Headaches or migraines
Ear pain or a feeling of fullness in the ears
Teeth grinding or clenching (often during sleep)

What Is Airway Health?

Airway health is closely linked to your breathing patterns, which can significantly affect your overall well-being. Poor airway function, often caused by obstructed breathing, can lead to issues like:

Sleep apnea or snoring
Fatigue or trouble sleeping
Difficulty breathing during physical activity
Chronic dry mouth
Poor concentration and irritability

Proper airway function is essential for getting enough oxygen and maintaining healthy sleep, which is crucial for your physical and mental health.
