Common Causes of Chewing Muscle Pain
- Bruxism (Teeth Grinding): The number one cause. Clenching and grinding overworks the muscles, leading to pain and fatigue.
- Overuse: Habits like constant gum chewing or chewing on hard objects can strain the muscles.
- Malocclusion: A bad bite can force the muscles to work harder to bring the teeth together, leading to strain.
- Stress: Psychological stress often leads to unconscious muscle tension and clenching.
