TMJ
What Is Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD)?
A temporomandibular disorder (TMD) is often caused by excessive strain placed on the temporomandibular joints (TMJs). These joints are the hard-working "hinge" that connects your jaw to your skull. Your entire chewing system, including jaw muscles and nerves, can be painfully affected by a TMJ disorder. If you grind or clench your teeth, it could be a result of your jaw being misaligned, which is often a cause of temporomandibular disorders.
Who Can Develop TMJ Disorders?
According to the TMJ Association, 35 million people in the United States suffer from TMJ disorders, with the majority being adult women.
