Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction is a common condition that limits the natural function of the jaw, such as opening the mouth and chewing, and can cause pain. The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint that connects your jaw to your skull in front of your ear. Did you know that more than 10 million Americans are currently suffering from TMJ dysfunction?
