Relieve Jaw Pain and Restore Comfort

Understanding TMJ Disorder

TMJ disorder refers to a condition that affects the temporomandibular joint, which connects your jaw to your skull. This complex joint is responsible for essential functions like chewing, speaking, and yawning. When the TMJ becomes inflamed or damaged, it can lead to a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including:

 

• Jaw pain or tenderness

• Difficulty chewing or biting

• Clicking, popping, or grating sounds in the jaw joint

• Locking of the jaw

• Headaches or migraines

• Ear pain or ringing in the ears (tinnitus)
