A member asked:
Tmj disc displacement for 16 years, can the ligaments eventually tear up ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
TMJ : Stress and strain on this particular joint over a long period of time can begin to wear on the surface of the joint as well as the ligaments and muscles surrounding the tMJ joint. An oral surgeon or your dentist is a good place to start for assessment of possible teeth grinding, alteration of your bite that can cause strain, et cetera.
