What is TMJ?

TMJ stands for temporomandibular joint, which is the joint that connects your jaw to your skull. Temporomandibular joint disorder, or TMJ disorder (TMD), refers to a condition that causes pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles that control jaw movement.


Several factors can contribute to the development of TMJ disorder, including jaw injuries, arthritis, teeth grinding (bruxism), misalignment of the teeth or jaw, and stress. The symptoms of TMJ disorder can vary but often include jaw pain, difficulty chewing, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, headaches, and neck or shoulder pain.
