WHAT IS TMJ DISORDER?
The temporomandibular joints are the sliding hinge joints that connect the skull and jaw bone on each side of the face. When this joint malfunctions, patients can experience pain.
WHAT CAUSES TMJ?
TMJ can be caused by arthritis, genetics, injury, and habitual tooth grinding. TMJ disorders can cause an annoying variety of symptoms, such as clicking sounds, pain upon opening and closing the mouth, headaches and generalized pain in the area.
