What is TMJ?
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing you to chew, speak, and move your jaw. When this joint becomes inflamed or misaligned, it can lead to a condition known as temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD). Common TMJ symptoms include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness.
- Clicking or popping sounds when moving the jaw.
- Difficulty chewing or opening the mouth.
- TMJ headaches or pain radiating to the ears, neck, or head.
