Our Specialty
TMJ (Temporamandibular Joint) Disorders (TMD)
Temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) is a common condition that limits the natural function of the jaw, such as opening the mouth and chewing, and can cause pain. The TMJ guides jaw movement and allows you to open and close your mouth and move it from side to side to talk, yawn, or chew. TMD can be caused by:
- Bad posture habits
- Chronic jaw clenching (“bruxism”)
- Problems with teeth alignment (“malocclusion”)
- Fracture
- Surgery
- Trismus (“lockjaw”)
- Displacement of the disc
- Arthritis
