View on GoogleWhat Is TMJ Disorder?
When researching causes of a painful jaw, you may have come across terms such as temporomandibular disorders, TMD, and TMJ disorders, and wondered what the difference is between these seemingly similar phrases. The simple answer is they all refer to dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint in the jaw - in other words, the hinge joints on either side of the jaw that allow you to open and close your mouth.
