The temporomandibular joint acts like a hinge that allows the jaw to move smoothly when speaking or chewing.TMJ disorder occurs when the joint or surrounding muscles become inflamed, strained, or misaligned.
This condition can affect one or both sides of the jaw and may cause persistent discomfort or difficulty with normal jaw movement.TMJ disorders can vary in severity, ranging from mild jaw stiffness to chronic pain and limited jaw movement.
Common Symptoms of TMJ Disorders
TMJ disorders can produce a variety of symptoms that affect the jaw, head, and neck.Common symptoms include:
- Jaw pain or tenderness
- Clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth
- Difficulty chewing or biting
- Headaches or migraines
- Ear pain or ringing in the ears
- Facial muscle tension
- Jaw locking or limited movement
If you experience these symptoms frequently, a dental evaluation can help determine whether TMJ disorder may be the cause.

Several factors can contribute to TMJ disorders.
Common causes include:
