This can be a low grade to sever constant ache in the facial areas which can radiate to other locations such as head and neck. There could also often be clicking or crunching sound in the jaw joints upon opening and closing of the mouth. This problem is often misdiagnosed as dental pain causing un-necessary root canal treatments and extractions. One of the common symptoms of a TM disorder is morning headaches; these are often misdiagnosed as migraine headaches.

The treatment usually involves a two phase treatment; the first phase of treatment is to treat the symptoms which commonly involves fabrication of proper orthodic appliance and physiotherapy which is spray and stretch therapy and possible trigger point injections, Botox. Second phase involves treatment of the cause of the problem which often is a mal-alignment of teeth which could be as simple as adjusting a filling that is high to major oral reconstruction.
