Understanding TMJ & Jaw Pain

Jaw tension and discomfort can be associated with overactivity of the muscles used for chewing, particularly the masseter muscles. These muscles can become more active with habits such as clenching or grinding.

The Masseter Muscles

The masseters are located along the sides of the jaw and play an important role in chewing and jaw movement. When these muscles are repeatedly activated, they can become tense, fatigued or enlarged.

Jaw muscle overactivity may be associated with:

  • Facial or jaw discomfort

  • Worn down teeth and dental problems

  • Headaches

  • Changes in the appearance of the lower face

It's More Than Just Jaw Pain

Jaw discomfort can have a number of contributing factors, and not all jaw pain is related to muscle activity. Your symptoms, medical history and individual anatomy will be assessed during consultation to determine whether treatment may be appropriate.

At Evara, we believe understanding these processes is an important part of making informed decisions about your skin and facial aesthetics. Your individual anatomy, skin, movement and concerns are all considered during a consultation.

Due to Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations, we are unable to provide detailed information about certain treatments on our website. Australian guidelines restrict the advertising of prescription-only medicines, including any content that could be considered promotional.

To ensure you receive accurate and personalised information, a consultation with one of our qualified practitioners is required. During your appointment, we will assess your concerns, discuss your goals, and determine the most appropriate treatment options for your individual needs.

As every treatment plan is tailored to the individual, pricing will vary and will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
