What is TMJ?
TMJ stands for the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jawbone to your skull. It acts like a sliding hinge, allowing you to open and close your mouth, chew, speak, and make other jaw movements. You have one TMJ on each side of your jaw.
When people refer to TMJ disorders (TMD), they are talking about problems with this joint, the muscles around it, or both. TMJ disorders can cause pain in the jaw, face, neck, and even lead to headaches, difficulty chewing, or a clicking/popping sound when moving the jaw.

There are many things that can cause TMJ discomfort. Among those are clenching your teeth, grinding your teeth, misalignment of the jaw and teeth, and stress, among many other things.
What Are Some Symptoms of TMJ Disorders?
