What is TMJ?

The temporomandibular joint (TMJ), which connects your jaw to your skull, is one of the most complex joints in your body. It utilizes both a hinge action and sliding motions to enable your jaw to move up and down and side to side. Your lower jaw has rounded ends that move in and out of the joint socket when you perform routine functions such as talking, chewing and yawning. Cartilage covers the bones of the joint, and shock-absorbing disks separate the joint’s ball and socket to ensure that all movements are smooth. However, when this joint is out of alignment, you can suffer debilitating pain, discomfort, and a loss of function.

Are You Living With Any of These Symptoms?

Chronic jaw pain often shows up in ways patients don’t connect to their bite — soreness or stiffness in the jaw, frequent headaches, clicking or grinding when you chew, pain radiating into the neck and shoulders, or waking with a sore jaw or worn-down teeth.

The joint that connects your lower jaw to your skull is one of the most complex in the body — hinging and sliding to let you talk, chew, and yawn. When it falls out of alignment or becomes inflamed, the surrounding muscles and nerves can produce pain that radiates far beyond the jaw itself. That’s why headaches, ear pressure, and neck tightness so often trace back to a jaw issue patients didn’t realize they had.
