TMJ Disorder

What Is TMJ Disorder?

TMJ disorder affects the muscles and joints that control jaw movement. As a result, patients may experience pain, stiffness, or difficulty opening their mouth.

Common symptoms include:

  • Jaw pain or tenderness
  • Clicking or popping sounds
  • Headaches or ear pain
  • Difficulty chewing

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your lower jaw to your skull. It allows you to speak, eat, and yawn comfortably. However, when this joint does not function properly, it can lead to pain and discomfort. This condition is known as TMJ disorder.
