TMJ Issues

For a variety of reason your temporomandibular joint – frequently called TMJ – may cause you pain. When this occurs it is referred to as TMJ disorder or dysfunction. You may have seen or heard this referred to as TMD.

WHAT EXACTLY IS MY TMJ?

Your temporomandibular joint is where the part of your skull called the temporal bone meets your mandible. This is the lower jawbone that holds all your bottom teeth in place. Your TMJ allows you to move your jaw side to side as well as up and down.
