Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) disorders can cause significant discomfort and affect the quality of life. The TMJ is a hinge-like joint that connects your jawbone to your skull, allowing you to perform essential functions such as talking, chewing, and yawning. When this joint is not functioning correctly, it can lead to pain, limited movement, and other symptoms.

Symptoms of TMJ Disorders

Patients experiencing TMJ disorders may exhibit a variety of symptoms, including:

• Jaw pain or tenderness
• Clicking or popping sounds when opening or closing the mouth
• Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing
• Aching pain in and around the ear
• Facial pain
• Locking of the jaw, making it difficult to open or close the mouth
