What Is TMJ -
Temporomandibular Joint Disorders?
The abbreviation "TMJ" stands the "Temporomandibular
Joint"
and refers to the joint but is also used to refer to any
disorders or symptoms of this region. The temporomandibular joint is a hinge
that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front
of each ear. It lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can
talk, chew, and yawn. Problems with your jaw and the muscles in your face
that control it are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is
often just called just "TMJ" after the name of the actual joint involved.
