In brief: Very common. Sure, TMJ problems can cause facial muscle spasms. It's usually the jaw muscles, on the side of the jaw (the masseter muscle) and on the side of the head or temples (the temporalis muscle) that go into spasm and cause pain from TMJ problems.
1 Ear pain: Many TMD sufferers do not know that their TMJ is the source of their ear pain or ringing (tinnitus) and assume instead that it must be caused by an ear infection or another inner ear problem. 2  Radiating pain from the affected joint, nerves, or muscles may seem like it is originating from the ears. Clenching and grinding: Bruxism is one of the most common causes of TMJ disorders. 2  The added stress on the jaw joint can cause wear and tear of the cartilage disks, and may cause the jaw joint to become dislocated.
