The temporalis is a powerful muscle acting at the TMJ joint, exerting hundreds of kilograms of pressure, therefore it is important that this muscle remains relaxed to avoid discomfort and allow the joint to perform its important actions such as chewing and opening/closing. A short temporalis can lead to teeth clenching, which can damage sensitive propreoceptive covering on the teeth.
