Many dental terms can be confusing. If you have a question about a dental term you do not completely understand please call us now for clarification.
The Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) refers to the jaw joints that are located directly in front of the ears. These joints connect the jawbone to the skull and ultimately control the way the jaw moves, which directly affects the way we talk and chew, more.
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD) is the term used when someone has a jaw disorder that affects the temporomandibular joint. Whenever someone has an issue with the TMJ it means that there is some type of dysfunction happening in the jaw area, aka a TMD, which can cause them pain and even could make it difficult for them to move their jaw at all.
A professional assessment is required in order to properly diagnose any problems with the TMJ.
Currently, there are only treatments available for those diagnosed with a TMJ disorder.
It simply depends on the severity of the disorder. Sometimes a few months is all some patients need.
This is one of the treatment options available for those who have been diagnosed with a TMJ disorder as it helps the jaw muscles to relax when sleeping.
Possibly. Missing or worn down teeth are two known causes that can cause someone to have jaw problems.
