TMJ Disorder Treatment
The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) connects the jawbone to the skull and plays a crucial role in speaking, chewing, and other jaw movements. TMJ disorders can lead to pain, clicking or popping sounds, jaw stiffness, and difficulty opening or closing the mouth. These symptoms may interfere with daily activities such as eating, speaking, and even sleeping.
