Understanding TMJ Disorders
The temporomandibular joints (TMJ) connect your jaw to your skull and are used every time you chew, speak, or swallow. When these joints and the muscles around them are not working properly, the result can be a TMJ disorder — often signaled by jaw clicking, locking, or discomfort. If you notice any of these signs, a professional evaluation can help determine whether TMJ treatment is right for you.
