A member asked:
Can wearing too-tight or ill-fitting headbands or hair accessories cause or aggravate a flare-up of tmj symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NAFAIK: But if you stop wearing these headbands and accessories and the flare-ups diminish, then you'll know to keep these items more on the loose end. TMJ issues are sometimes very tricky to treat.
