Why Does My Jaw Constantly Feel Tight?

Have you noticed discomfort in your jaw or are you experiencing moderate pain? There could be a wide range of explanations for this condition. While it is important to see a dentist, it is always a good idea to take a look at some common causes.

– You could be grinding your teeth (also known as bruxism).

– You might be suffering from temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder

– Your bite might be misaligned and require adjustment.

“Jaw tightness can range from mild to severe and be most painful when moving the jaw, such as when chewing or speaking.”
