Temporomandibular disorders — TMD, often called TMJ — come from problems with the jaw, the jaw joint and the surrounding facial muscles that control chewing and jaw movement. Most stem from muscle problems; a smaller share come from within the joint itself.
Symptoms
Treatment can range from simple measures at home to a bite splint, drug therapy, physical therapy or, in a minority of cases, surgery. If you think this might be what you have, the doctor can help you work out the right course of action.
