Commonly referred to as TMJ syndrome, temporomandibular joint disorders are a group of conditions that cause pain and dysfunction in the jaw joint and the muscles controlling jaw movement. If the TMJ joint is stressed or not moving smoothly, the resulting discomfort can be significant. Symptoms can include, among others, chronic headaches, earaches, jaw pain and bruxism. Millions of Americans suffer from TMJ syndrome. The good news is that it is a treatable ailment.
For many people, TMJ symptoms seem to start with no obvious reason. In many cases, discomfort from TMJ disorders will fade on its own or dissipate from simple self-care. If symptoms persist, they should receive a proper and accurate diagnosis.
