TMD/TMJ
What is TMJ?
TMJ
The temporomandibular joint, or TMJ, is the joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull on both sides of your head and allows for the opening and closing of your mouth, as well as moving your jaw from side to side. Generally, and for many people, the TMJ works well and causes no problems. Other times, and for some people, problems arise with the TMJ, which can cause extreme pain and affect your overall health.
What is TMD?
TMD
Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are problems associated with the movement of the jaw, and pain in and around the jaw. For some people, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) becomes stressed and overworked. When this happens, it can lead to TMD. Bruxism, which presents as grinding or clenching of the teeth, is one of the most common forms of TMD.
Symptoms of TMD
Symptoms
- Difficulty or pain opening your mouth. Your jaw may even lock, preventing any movement at all
- Head, neck, face, or shoulder discomfort
- Ear pain or hearing difficulties (this can include ringing ears)
- Teeth grinding or clenching

- Popping or grating sounds in the jaw joints
