What Is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint, or “TMJ” is the joint which connects your lower jaw to your skull. When this joint becomes stressed, misaligned, or injured, it leads to the development of a TMJ disorder. This may occur due to a number of factors, including stress, teeth grinding and clenching, arthritis, trauma, and injury to the head, neck, or jaw. TMJ disorders have a significant impact on your quality of life, affecting your ability to eat, yawn, speak and perform many other daily actions as well as causing pain and discomfort.

Common Symptoms of TMJ

Some Common Signs of a TMJ disorder can include:

Clicking or popping sounds when moving your jaw

Grinding sounds or sensations in the jaw
An inability to open your mouth wide to speak, yawn or chew
Locked or stuck jaw
Pain when moving the jaw, especially when chewing or biting
Frequent headaches, especially when waking
Pain in your neck, shoulders, and ears
