Understanding TMJ/TMD

TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorders, commonly referred to as TMD, involve dysfunctions of the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. Symptoms can include jaw pain, headaches, earaches, and difficulty in opening or closing the mouth. Causes of TMJ/TMD may vary from stress and teeth grinding to arthritis or a misaligned bite. Understanding the specific cause of your symptoms is crucial for effective treatment.
