Temporomandibular Joint Disorder

A cluster of conditions known as Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMD or TMD) impacts the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), the anatomical junction where the jawbone and cranium meet. This joint facilitates a variety of motions, including swallowing, speaking, and yawning.
TMJ disorders can result in jaw joint discomfort and dysfunction, as well as incompetence of the muscles responsible for jaw movement. The etiology of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders is frequently complex, as they may arise from a confluence of elements such as genetic predisposition, excessive teeth grinding, mandible trauma, or arthritis.
