Light sensitivity
Due to the position of your TMJ, if dislocated it can cause pain as muscle tension may compress the nerves connected to the eyes. Factors such as irritation and inflammation can cause sensitivity to light. This means that you may find it difficult to keep your eyes open under bright light.
Inability to think clearly
TML affects the normal functioning of your brain because of the misalignment of the jaw, neck, and skull. This affects regular blood flow and fluid movement by slowing it down. As a result, you may start to experience mental confusion and may have a hard time focusing.
