Understanding TMJ Disorder

TMJ Disorder is a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint, the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. This complex joint is crucial for various oral functions, and when it malfunctions, it can lead to a variety of symptoms, including jaw pain, clicking or popping sounds, headaches, and difficulty chewing.

Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorder

Jaw Pain or Soreness: Persistent discomfort in the jaw, especially during chewing or speaking.
Clicking or Popping Sounds: Audible sounds when opening or closing the mouth.
Headaches: Recurring headaches, often concentrated around the temple area.
Ear Pain: Discomfort or pain in and around the ears.
Locking of the Jaw: Difficulty opening or closing the mouth fully.
