The neck, face, and head muscles are as important to global muscle function as the core (lumbopelvic-hip complex).
The temporalis and masseter are synergists. An overdeveloped upper trapezius can be an overlooked contributor to problems associated with these muscles.

A short temporalis leads to teeth clenching, which can damage the sensitive proprioceptive covering on the teeth.

Temporal dysfunction can ensue, with loss of balance, vertigo, nausea, hearing difficulties, tinnitus, trigeminal neuralgia, and optical problems. Habits such as chewing gum can cause repetitive stress and strain.

One must appreciate the chain effect that an inhibited masseter could have on this muscle.

The temporalis and masseter may develop myofascial trigger points in an effort to provide much-needed tension.
