Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) are referred to the condition that affects the movement of your jaw, due to problems with the Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) and muscles around the jaw. If this condition is neglected may lead to serious joint issues.
TMD usually affects people between the ages of 20 and 40 years, a majority of which are men and can affect one or both sides of the face.
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) is a hinge joint connecting the jaw to the temporal bones of the skull, which allows one to move their jaw when talking, yawning, or chewing. TMD is often mistakenly referred to as TMJ, which is actually the name of the joint that is affected.
TMD may be caused by a variety of factors (or some combination of them) – ranging from genetics and habitual clenching of your jaw to arthritis or a jaw injury. Although it causes a lot of pain and distress, this disorder is of a very temporary nature and can easily be relieved through non-surgical treatments and holistic self-managed care.
