TMJ is the abbreviation for the temporomandibular joint, a joint in the face that connects the jawbone to the skull. The TMJ has a very unique structure. Unlike most other joints, the TMJ has three parts held together by ligaments originating in distinct parts of the head and neck. The complicated structure of the TMJ makes it ripe for potential issues.
TMJ disorder occurs when there are problems with the TMJ joint, jaw muscles, and the jawbone. Injury or damage to the joint can result in pain and other issues.
