What Is TMJ Disorder?
TMJ disorder (often referred to as TMD) involves dysfunction of the temporomandibular joints—the joints that connect your jaw to your skull. When these joints or the surrounding muscles are strained or misaligned, it can lead to pain and restricted movement.
TMJ-related issues may cause:
- Jaw pain or stiffness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing your mouth
- Facial pain or muscle tension
- Headaches or migraines
- Ear pain or a feeling of fullness
- Difficulty chewing or opening fully
Because symptoms vary widely, TMJ disorders are often overlooked or misdiagnosed.
